I read a quote a few days ago, and I forgot to print it out or write it down, and now I can't find the blasted thing, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I do not remember who said it, but it goes something like this, at least in part: ...then we desire not your council, and you may depart in peace, and may the yoke of oppression lay lightly upon your shoulders. Or something to that effect. Can anyone help me out? It would be greatly appreciated. |

Sounds like a Samuel Adams quote. “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating 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 ye were our countrymen!” |
That is the one! Thanks for it. (I did find it in the meantime, almost by accident) |
