FFQF: Sam Adams and Liberty

Oh my goodness, today is Friday and I completely forgot about FFQF! I am so bad. I got a new kitten yesterday, and this week has been a flurry of appointments, that I forgot about today! Better late than never, I guess!

Favorite Founding Father's Quote Day

See what’s up with today’s FFQF at Meet the Founders blog

“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 your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” Samuel Adams

This is my favorite quote of all times by my favorite founder of all times. I love Sam Adams. He was just so succinct, so virtuous, and so perceptive. And he always had a barbed comment at the right time in the right place. We would do well to heed his wise words.

Thanks for reading my FFQF! see who else is up to it today at Meet the Founders blog.
