HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Samuel Adams is a founding father that most people know very little about, which is why I looked up quotes by him. My jaw hit the floor when I read this quote. It was true back then and these words still ring true today.
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 and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
— Samuel Adams
