I Rejoice When I Hear Of Young

The People Of Every Country Are The Only Safe Guardians Of Their Own Rights.

[the People] Are In Truth The Only Legitimate Proprietors Of The Soil And Government.

A Government Held Together By The Bands Of Reason Only, Requires Much Compromise Of Opinion.

Most Codes Extend Their Definitions Of Treason To Acts Not Really Against One's Country. They Do Not Distinguish Between Acts Against The Government, And Acts Against The Oppressions Of The Government. The Latter Are Virtues, Yet Have Furnished More Victims To The Executioner Than The Former. Real Treasons Are Rare; Oppressions Frequent. The Unsuccessful Strugglers Against Tyranny Have Been The Chief Martyrs Of Treason Laws In All Countries.

Truth Between Candid Minds Can Never Do Harm.
