A quote from Samuel Adams:

If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating

contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch

down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity

forget that you were our countrymen.


Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)
