Here's a quote that I always liked from one of our Founding Fathers:

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams

"Split your lungs with blood and thunder
when you see the white whale
break your backs and crack your oars, men
if you wish to prevail
this ivory peg is what propels me
harpoons thrust in the sky
aim directly for his crooked brow
and look him straight in the eye"

Mastodon, Blood and Thunder

Awesome for a long hard row
