About this Quote
Patrick Henry is asserting that we are not weak if we use the resources that nature has given us. He believes that the outcome of the battle is not solely determined by those who are physically strong, but also relies on those who are vigilant, active, and courageous. In other words, success does not only come through physical prowess but also through strategic thinking and determination.

"It should seem, then, that the nature of society dictates another, a higher branch, whose superiority arises from its being the interested and natural conservator of the universal interest"
"I think it's really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with nature"
