I found the following quote in a booklet called the "Citizens Handbook",
which outlines Jury rights, and was struck by it.

"If you 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

"Giving power and money to Congress is like giving liquor and keys to the car
 to teenage boys."
