We Hold These Truths

Tuesday, July 4, 2017

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

These words are as true today, as they were July 4, 1776

Happy birthday to the United States of America

Terra said...: Beautiful words. Sometimes government likes to pretend "they" gave us those rights, and thus could take them away. So not true, they are given to all by our Creator. Have a fun filled Fourth dear Buttercup.; July 4, 2017 at 7:14 PM
