Arbitrary Power Is Like Most Other Things

I Begin To Think, That A Calm Is Not Desirable In Any Situation In Life. Man Was Made For Action And For Bustle Too, I Believe.

Well, Knowledge Is A Fine Thing, And Mother Eve Thought So; But She Smarted So Severely For Hers, That Most Of Her Daughters Have Been Afraid Of It Since.

A Patriot Without Religion In My Estimation Is As Great A Paradox As An Honest Man Without The Fear Of God. Is It Possible That He Whom No Moral Obligations Bind, Can Have Any Real Good Will Towards Men?

Great Learning And Superior Abilities...will Be Of Little Value And Small Estimation Unless Virtue, Honor, Truth, And Integrity Are Added To Them.

I Am More And More Convinced That Man Is A Dangerous Creature And That Power, Whether Vested In Many Or A Few, Is Ever Grasping, And Like The Grave, Cries, 'give, Give.'
