Hi.
I came across this quote today from Samuel Adams, one of
Americas founding fathers and one of the instigators of the Boston Tea Party.
The remark was made apparently to people who believed that America shouldn't be
independent of Britain because they would be financially worse off. Now where
have I heard similar arguments to that?
"If
you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the
animated contest of freedom, then go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels
or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit
lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our
countrymen."
God Bless,
Phil.
