Let The Consequences Be What They Will,

There Can Be No Prescription Old Enough To Supersede The Law Of Nature And The Grant Of God Almighty, Who Has Given To All Men A Natural Right To Be Free, And They Have It Ordinarily In Their Power To Make Themselves So, If They Please.

And I Take This Opportunity To Declare, That... I Will To My Dying Day Oppose With All The Powers And Faculties God Has Given Me, All Such Instruments Of Slavery On The One Hand, And Villainy On The Other, As This Writ Of Assistance Is. It Appears To Me The Worst Instrument Of Arbitrary Power, - The Most Destructive Of English Liberty And The Fundamental Principles Of Law, That Ever Was Found In An English Law Book.

A Man Is Accountable To No Person For His Doings.

These Manly Sentiments, In Private Life, Make The Good Citizen; In Public Life, The Patriot And The Hero.

An Act Against The Constitution Is Void; An Act Against Natural Equity Is Void.
