Are you discouraged? Maybe this will help:
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier, and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. I fear not. I see no cause of fear. In the end we will be the victors. For if the flame of liberty might sometimes cease to shine, the ember will never expire."
