"If ye love wealth better than
liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, 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!"
--Samuel Adams, speech to the State
House in Philadelphia, 1776
