Samuel Adams Samuel Adams
  • "Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can."

  • "How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!"

  • "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

  • "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."

  • "Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason."

  • "Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty."

  • "The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

  • "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks."

  • "The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule."

  • "We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them."
