“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 your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
- Samuel Adams
Not enough has been written about Samuel Adams.
Samuel Adams was the real father of the American revolution.
“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!”
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”
Samuel Adams
