Four score and seven years ago
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

Every quote cited
No spurious Jefferson.
Half the founder quotes on the internet were never said. Every line we print carries its source, date, and document — on the product page and on the sheet itself. If we cannot cite it, we do not print it.

The Texas Declaration of Independence
When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.
