When Sam Adams said that, Americans were capable of governing themselves and, collectively, their communities. If it hasn't yet dawned on you that that's no longer the case, you should look around more. (Or just read Free Republic - there are plenty of folks on here who would pervert liberty into license every chance they get.)
Since you like quotes, here's one for you:
He who will not rule himself will be ruled by another.

Yea, I do like quotes.
Here’s one back at ya...
“They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin, 1759
