Blood, rebellion--and patience.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles."
