Live free or die

"Vivre Libre ou Mourir" was a motto of the French Revolution. It was notably the motto of the Society of Friends of the Constitution, better known as the Jacobins and of the Battalion of the Filles-Saint-Thomas of the National Guard from September 1789. It also appears at the top of the Journal d'État et du citoyen written and edited by Louise-Félicité de Kéralio in August 1789, whose father was the commander of the Battalion of the Filles-Saint-Thomas. In her famous work published in 1791, Les crimes des reines de France depuis le commencement de la monarchie jusqu'à Marie-Antoinette, Louise-Félicité de Kéralio concludes with the being who has sworn to live free or die, and makes fun of the anger of tyrants.
