"It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, - to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves."

--Samuel Adams (27 September 1722 - 2 October 1803)

an essay published in The Advertiser, 1748
