A Long Habit Of Not Thinking A

Nothing, They Say Is More Certain Than Death, And Nothing More Uncertain Than The Time Of Dying

Evils, Like Poisons, Have Their Uses, And There Are Diseases Which No Other Remedy Can Reach.

We Still Find The Greedy Hand Of Government Thrusting Itself Into Every Corner And Crevice Of Industry And Grasping At The Spoil Of The Multitude.

The Contrast Of Affluence And Wretchedness Continually Meeting And Offending The Eye, Is Like Dead And Living Bodies Chained Together

It Is Important That We Should Never Lose Sight Of This Distinction. We Must Not Confuse The Peoples With Their Governments.
