Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776:
“If ye 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.”
"If ye love liberty more than socialism, the animating contest of freedom better than the tranquility of servitude, go home from us, whether in peace or not. ...etc"
Love that quote. Thanks.
