"Samuel Adams"
If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav’d. This will be their great Security.
For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.
The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought.
How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
