"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 Arms. Crouch Down & Lick the Hands Which Feed You. May Your Chains Set Lightly Upon You, & May Posterity Forget that Ye Were Our Countrymen."
Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
