Everything That Is Usually Understood By The

Power Is Not Happiness.

If Ever There Was A Book Calculated To Make A Man In Love With Its Author, This Appears To Me To Be The Book.

The Proper Method For Hastening The Decay Of Error, Is Not, By Brute Force, Or By Regulation Which Is One Of The Classes Of Force, To Endeavour To Reduce Men To Intellectual Uniformity; But On The Contrary By Teaching Every Man To Think For Himself.

It Is The Business Of Individuals To Persuade; The Tendency Of Concentrated Strength, Is Only To Give Consistency And Permanence To An Influence More Compendious Than Persuasion.
