Description and Tags

I strongly recommend using LEARN MODE. Answer with WRITING only, answer with DEFINITIONS, going through the set UNSHUFFLED, you have STRICT GRADING, and RE-CHECK INCORRECT ANSWERS. These exact settings are what worked for me.

Now try the whole thing 😘

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 their 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. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. 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.
