From an early period, I had the happiness to rank among the foremost in the American Revolution. In the affection and confidence of the people, I am proud to say, I have a great share.

I am astonished but not discouraged by my enormous responsibility. Devoted both from affection and duty to the cause of the people, I shall combat with equal ardor aristocracy, despotism, and faction.

The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.

If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy.

I am proud to be an American Citizen.

I'm as proud to be Chinese as I am American.
