Founding Farther Quotes

[jcoosi]

I see many signatures that have their quotes.I searched to see if there was a thread already on this but nothing was found.So I thought it would be a good idea to put some of your favorite ones.

One of the quotes in my signature is from Samuel Adams from this speech here American Independence - Wikisource

If we 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 set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.--Samuel Adams

The other is from a letter to Samuel Adams from Thomas Jefferson

Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education & free discussion are the antidotes of both.--Thomas Jefferson

I agree there are some interesting signature line quotes on this forum. I find those quotes from a statesman, living or dead, much more meaningful than a quote from an actor.
