The following was delivered by Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni before leading the Celts into battle against the Romans. I find power and inspiration in these words of hers.. as I do the words of William Wallace. Their bravery, strength, honor and complete love of their country(s), their people and freedom, should be embraced by all of us. If history truly does repeat itself, then I say we do them proud!! After all, the USA is being referred to as the "New Rome".

A very inspiring speech from the Warrior Queen
"You have learned by actual experience how different freedom is from slavery. Hence, although some among you may previously; through ignorance of which was better; have been deceived by the alluring promises of the Romans. Yet, now that you have tried both, you have learned how great a mistake you made in preferring an imported despotism to your ancestral mode of life, and you have come to realize how much better is poverty, with no master, than wealth with slavery. For what treatment is there of the most shameful or grievous sort that we have not suffered, ever since these men made their appearance in Britain? Have we not been robbed entirely of most of our possessions, and those the greatest, while for those that remain we pay taxes? Besides pasturing and tilling for them, all our other possessions, do we not pay a yearly tribute for our very bodies?
How much better it would be to have been sold to masters once for all, than; possessing empty titles of freedom; to have to ransom ourselves every year! How much better to have been slain and to have perished than to go about with a tax on our heads! Yet why do I mention death? For even dying is not free of cost with them; nay, you know what fees we deposit even for our dead. Among the rest of mankind death frees even those who are in slavery to others; only in the case of the Romans do the very dead remain alive for their profit.
Why is it that, though none of us has any money (how, indeed, could we, or where would we get it?), we are stripped and despoiled like a murderer's victims? And why should the Romans be expected to display moderation as time goes on, when they have behaved toward us in this fashion at the very outset, when all men show consideration even for the beasts they have newly captured?"
"But, to speak the plain truth, it is we who have made ourselves responsible for all these evils, in that we allowed them to set foot on the island in the first place, instead of expelling them at once as we did their famous Julius Caesar - yes, and in that we did not deal with them while they were still far away as we dealt with Augustus and with Gaius Caligula and make even the attempt to sail hither a formidable thing. As a consequence, although we inhabit so large an Island; or rather a continent, one might say; that is encircled by the sea, and although we possess a veritable world of our own and are so separated by the ocean from all the rest of mankind that we have been believed to dwell on a different earth and under a different sky, and that some of the outside world, aye, even their wisest men, have not hitherto known for a certainty even by what name we are called, we have, notwithstanding all this, been despised and trampled underfoot by men who know nothing else than how to secure gain.
However, even at this late day, though we have not done so before, let us, my countrymen and friends and kinsmen - for I consider you all kinsmen, seeing that you inhabit a single island and are called by one common name - let us, I say, do our duty while we still remember what freedom is, that we may leave to our children not only its appellation but also its reality. For, if we utterly forget the happy state in which we were born and bred, what, pray, will they do, reared in bondage?" http://jahtruth.net/syst.htm
"All this I say, not with the purpose of inspiring you with a hatred of present conditions - that hatred you already have - nor with fear for the future - that fear you already have - but of commending you because you now of our own accord choose the requisite course of action, and of thanking you for so readily cooperating with me and with each other.
Have no fear whatever of the Romans; for they are superior to us neither in numbers nor in bravery. And here is the proof: they have protected themselves with helmets and breastplates and greaves and yet further provided themselves with palisades and walls and trenches to make sure of suffering no harm by an incursion of their enemies. For they are influenced by their fears when they adopt this kind of fighting in preference to the plan we follow of rough and ready action. Indeed, we enjoy such a surplus of bravery, that we regard our tents as safer than their walls and our shields as affording greater protection than their whole suits of mail. As a consequence, we when victorious capture them, and when overpowered elude them; and if we ever choose to retreat anywhere, we conceal ourselves in swamps and mountains so inaccessible that we can be neither discovered or taken. Our opponents, however, can neither pursue anybody, by reason of their heavy armour, nor yet flee; and if they ever do slip away from us, they take refuge in certain appointed spots, where they shut themselves up as in a trap. But these are not the only respects in which they are vastly inferior to us: there is also the fact that they cannot bear up under hunger, thirst, cold, or heat, as we can. They require shade and covering, they require kneaded bread and wine and oil, and if any of these things fails them, they perish; for us, on the other hand, any grass or root serves as bread, the juice of any plant as oil, any water as wine, any tree as a house. Furthermore, this region is familiar to us and is our ally, but to them it is unknown and hostile. As for the rivers, we swim them naked, whereas they do not cross them easily even with boats. Let us, therefore, go against them trusting boldly to good fortune. Let us show them that they are hares and foxes trying to rule over dogs and wolves."
~Boudicca Warrior Queen of the Iceni Leader of the Celt Rebellion against the Romans 60 AD-61 AD
