Two major quotes are attributed to Patrick Henry:
"Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First his Cromwell; and George the Third ....may he profit by their example. If thisbe treason, make the most of it!"
and
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
The first, when quoted, is often shortened to just "If this be treason, make the most of it!"
The second, when quoted, is often shortened to simply "Give me liberty or give me death!"
"Give me liberty or give me death."
"Give me liberty or give me death".

Patrick Henry's main point in his famous quote, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" emphasizes the importance of freedom and the willingness to sacrifice everything for it. He argues that living under oppression is not worth the cost of life itself, and he calls for action against tyranny. His passionate declaration serves as a rallying cry for the fight for independence and the fundamental human right to liberty.
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.
