“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” –Samuel Adams

“If Virtue and Knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved.  This will be their great Security.” — Samuel Adams
