Fear of god Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Those poor farmers who came up, that day, to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest of instincts. Theydid not know it was a deed offame they were doing. These men did not babble of glory. They never dreamed their children would contend who had done the most. They supposed they had a right to their corn and their cattle, without paying tribute to any but their governors. And as they had no fear of man, theyyet did have a fear of God.”
