I could post something from the eloquent Thomas Jefferson, but I’ve always loved this quote from Winston Churchill:
“We must never cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world and which through Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, habeas corpus, trial by jury, and the English common law find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence”
— Winston Churchill in Fulton, Missouri, 5 March 1946.
