seldom…never…you pick it

 

 

“Power, once acquired,

     is seldom voluntarily parted with.”

 

Thomas Hutchinson (1711-1780)

Loyalist Governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay (1769-1774)

 

NB: Hutchinson was talking about the growing political power of the Sons of Liberty, not his own stake in the royal chain of command.
