“A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow
the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the
people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue,
they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal
invader. If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never
be enslaved. This will be their great security.”
--Samuel Adams
