Nah... but he did say: "When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty" - Thomas Jefferson and: "Timid men... prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous seas of liberty." Thomas Jefferson and: "People who expect to be ignorant and free expect what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson While Sam Adams said: "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors; they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." - Samuel Adams And Susan B. Anthony said: "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God" – Susan B. Anthony Perhaps more on-point: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president ... is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1918 And: "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain And: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain And: "Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may." - Mark Twain
