Despotic Power Is Always Accompanied By Corruption

Liberty Is The Prevention Of Control By Others.

Do Not Turn Yourself From An End Into A Means-one Does Not Justify The Other.

Piety Sometimes Gives Birth To Scruples, And Faith To Superstition, When They Are Not Directed By Wisdom And Knowledge.

Though Oppression May Give Rise To Violent And Repeated Outbreaks, Like The Convulsions Of A Man In Pain, It Cannot Mature A Settled Purpose And Plan Of Regeneration, Unless A New Notion Of Happiness Is Joined To The Sense Of Present Evil.

Save For The Wild Force Of Nature, Nothing Moves In This World That Is Not Greek In Its Origin.
