In The Discharge Of Thy Place Set

Let Not Men Think There Is No Truth, But In The Sciences That They Study, Or The Books That They Read.

[h]e That Thinks Absolute Power Purifies Men's Blood, And Corrects The Baseness Of Human Nature, Need Read The History Of This, Or Any Other Age, To Be Convinced To The Contrary.

Truth Certainly Would Do Well Enough, If She Were Once Left To Shift For Herself...she Is Not Taught By Laws, Nor Has She Any Need Of Force, To Procure Her Entrance Into The Minds Of Men.

It Is One Thing To Persuade, Another To Command; One Thing To Press With Arguments, Another With Penalties.

This Is My Destiny — I'm Supposed To Do This, Dammit! Don't Tell Me What I Can And Can't Do!
