Patrick Henry states that Great Britain has no other enemy but the colonists - he says that its entire army is aimed towards the colonists and keeping them safe and part of its kingdom. He says that the colonists have tried for a long time to talk to the British government and make their lives easier, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. This is why he says the following:
<span><em>If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
</em></span><em />He ends his speech by stating his famous sentence - Give me liberty or give me death!
A person can think however they want. Actions, like many have said, define a person in the end. Someone can advocate for peace with malicious intent, but they will still likely be remembered for advocating peace and not for their impure motivations. If these contradicting images are revealed to the public, that is still an act against that person, and is no longer a thought.
However, this is only from the public's view. When it comes to people, they may as well be the embodiment of their thoughts. Everything is fueled by something. The same person who seeds their own goals under the guise of peace will not think of themselves as one who acts with the intentions of bringing peace. They will be looking to call forth whatever it is that they want, and be aware that what they present to the public is not the truth.
So, both points are arguable. It depends on whether you value the individual or the community. Actions are what are remembered, and thoughts are a person's reason. Even today, this comes into relevancy because people want to know why certain figures in history did what they did. Thoughts make a person human, after all. Without thought, seperation of man and beast would be nigh impossible. Without action, man would have been left behind long ago. Both thought and action are important indeed.

The point of view in literature is the angle from which the story is being narrated. The most common are the first and third person points of view.
If it's being told from the first person point of view (POV), then the pronouns "I" or "we" will be used to tell the story. If it's from the third person POV, the story will use the pronouns "he", "she", "it", "them", or the main character's name. And finally, the second person POV narrates with the pronoun "you", inserting the reader in the story.
In the case of Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different, the author Karen Blumenthal tells his biography by using his name and "he" pronouns. For example, the opening sentence says "<em>Steve Jobs's first story involved connecting dots, and it began with a most unusual promise</em>". Therefore, the point of view used to tell this story is the third person.
