"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yeah can't say I ever recall anything said by/of him that indicated a lack of character and as far as epitaphs go that's the bar for me, the other one making it over 80.  Kenny got the top pair...heck, could have a full boat too.

I always loved this song since it came out... such a simple tune, and the little lyrical hook at the end is so sweet and priceless. A song about optimism, perseverance, not letting yourself get beat down, and making lemonade out of lemons...
