yep Patrick Henry, some answers you can get faster simply by typing the question *without the question mark* into google search bar.
for example:
Patrick Henry: Give Me Liberty Or Give Me DeathGive Me Liberty Or Give Me Death. Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775. No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, ...
libertyonline.hypermall.com/henry-liberty.html
was the first result, notice the name is in the answer, however if you want to be sure its the answer take the name, patrick henry, and type it into the google search bar directly as follows: "define:patrick henry"
without the quotes
good luck!

Here's the official text of the famous speech in which this line appears.

But it isn't quite as simple as people may think.
We DO know that Patrick Henry made a speech on March 23, 1775 to members of the Virginia House of Burgesses, urging them to prepare for war.
But what most students of American history do NOT know is that we have NO contemporaneous record of the actual content of this speech! It was compiled by William Wirt, Henry's grandson and biographer, 40 years later (1817).
Some have suggested that much of the present form owes much to Wirt's polishing and embellishing. But if we do not have the exact words, there is no question that Henry took the sort of position embodied in this speech and was well-known as a powerful orator.
