"For as long as the products of our……" — John Dickinson
"For as long as the products of our labor and the rewards of our care, can properly be called our own, so long it will be worth our while to be industrious and frugal. But if when we plow, sow, reap, gather and thresh for others, whose pleasure is to be the sole limitation how much they shall take, and how much they shall leave, why should we repeat the unprofitable toil?"
