Quote by Samuel Adams
"We must judge by the principles of nature, not by the whims of magistrates."
More from Samuel Adams
"The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will of any man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule."
"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly to liberty; Thirdly to property."
"It does not take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined citizens."
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them."
