I do not know what course others will take but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
Those where the last quotes.
That is correct, but it begins, "If this be treason, make the most of it. I know not the course that other might take, but, as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
Give me Liberty or give me Death
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Look up Patrick Henry's last speech.....as he died shorty after collapsing at the end of that speech. Those would count as his last KNOWN words today...
Rhetorical devices used in Patrick Henry's speech are:\AllusionMetaphors (Biblical and Mythological)Many Rhetorical QuestionsAppeal to LogicImageryEmotionParallel Sent. StructureRepetitionIn his last and famous quote "Give me liberty oR give me death," he uses repetition and contrasting parallel word choices between liberty and death. Its either life to the fullest or death nothing in between. Two different meaning words in one quote.
When asked if he had any last words, he replied "I came here to die, not make a speech."
"Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last." are the closing words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech.
You didn't get it quite right. It's "Free at Last! Free at Last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Martin Luther King, Jr. said it in the last line of his "I Have a Dream" speech. However, he wasn't the first to use the phrase. In his speech, he references the quote as being lines from an old Negro spiritual. Seeing as spirituals are passed on to others orally, most were never officially published until decades after they were first made up, so we cannot say for sure who first used the phrase.
