"the sun never shined on a cause of greater worth 'tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent -- of
at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age posterity (children, descendants) are
virtually involved in the contest and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. now is the seed time
of continental (colonies') union, faith and honor. the least fracture now will be like a name enraved with the point of a pin on the tender
rind of a young oak, the wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters."
