Synopsis
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I am with my country from this day on. You may depend on it.
—John Adams When the American colonies launched their unprecedented revolution that not only defeated the British Empire, but also founded the worldâ€s first modern democracy, the fledgling nation was guided through its tumultuous creation by the forward-thinking leaders who became known as the Founding Fathers.  The Essential Wisdom of the Founding Fathers brings together hundreds of quotations from creators of the American experiment. Drawn from their private letters, speeches, books, essays, discourses, and declarations, the selections reveal and reflect the thoughts, philosophies, and deepest convictions of the Founding Fathers.   In this book:
- George Washington implores his troops to keep fighting in the cause for liberty
- Alexander Hamilton champions the equal protection of the law for every citizen
- Thomas Jefferson warns of the dangers inherent in limiting the free press
- Benjamin Franklin rejoices at the return of peace after the ravages of war
