Sons of Liberty Quotes

“Do not feel compelled to justify your faith through reason and logic; these are only instruments used to rationalize your passions. But these tools are cold and lifeless. Any passion that can be thoroughly justified with them cannot contain within it any signs of life. And the more one tries to reason-out their passion, the more one drains the life-force from it.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“Rulers will never be reasoned out of their thrones, nor will society be argued away from their madness. To live free, a man must act.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“As for me, I will choose to keep the flame of liberty ablaze; I will set the world on fire with it, if I must. There is no life for me if I submit to slavery. I cease to exist if I sacrifice my very Being to the State. I will not. I will resist. Are you with me, my brothers?”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“The wolf is the character that moves against the society and is rightly viewed as a threat to the shepherd’s stock. The wolf and the shepherd are defined by their eternal conflict. Between these characters, there can be no alliance, no peace, no truce, no rest. They are fated enemies. Concerning our way - the way of liberty - we find ourselves now stepping into this character. ...Our way has now become the way of wolves.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“Tyranny manifests, not as a result of any particular collective, political party, statesman, lawman, ideology or philosophy, but as a result of the human condition. We must not make the error in believing that the extermination of those we find “tyrannical” will in-turn result in the extermination of tyranny itself.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“Too long have we allowed the leviathan of the State and its cronies to trample us, unchecked and unchallenged. There must be men of action, willing to push back against the forces of tyranny. This is not a call to abolition, overthrow, or revolution; merely resistance. The aim is not to rid the world of those who believe differently, rather, to ensure the world does not rid itself of us.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto

“Our mission is not to conquer the world, nor save it – for many have pursued one if only for the purpose of achieving the other, and all have failed to accomplish either. We, the Sons of Liberty, are united in the faith of Freedom. Though the masses may choose slavery, we shall choose liberty. We fight, first and foremost, for our own, but when the slaves cry out for salvation, we will hear their call, and shall respond with fervent fury.

Nil desperandum – Never despair.”
― Tanner Cook, Sons of Liberty: Manifesto
