In this speech by Patrick Henry, he tries to convince his fellow Virginians that they should oppose the British government and become independent. In which set of sentences does he most clearly state his commitment to seeking independence? I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.

We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.

It is in vain, sir to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it. Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death
