Patrick Henry did not write those words. He yelled them loud and clear, and he spoke for himself. He said, I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. Give me liberty or give me death."
A slight correction. Patrick Henry, in a speech before the Virginia Convention, concluded with the now justly famous quote, "As for me, give me liberty or give me death."
The quote, "I regret I have but one life to give for my country" is a quote attributed to Nathan Hale. He volunteered as a spy during the War for Independence and was caught by the British, who condemned him to hanging. At his hanging, he was asked if he did not have some regrets that he wished to confess to the Lord or those around. He is said to have declared, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
As a side note, some have recently misquoted this as "...one life to LOSE for my country." This was not what witnesses reported him saying.
