Liberty And Good Government Do Not Exclude

Guard Against The Prestige Of Great Names; See That Your Judgments Are Your Own; And Do Not Shrink From Disagreement; No Trusting Without Testing

Every Error Pronounces Judgment On Itself When It Attempts To Apply Its Rules To The Standard Of Truth.

The Light That Has Guided Us Is Still Unquenched, And The Causes That Have Carried Us So Far In The Van Of Free Nations Have Not Spent Their Power; Because The Story Of The Future Is Written In The Past, And That Which Hath Been Is The Same Thing That Shall Be.

A Government Does Not Desire Its Powers To Be Strictly Defined, But The Subjects Require The Line To Be Drawn With Increasing Precision.

The Science Of Politics Is The One Science That Is Deposited By The Streams Of History, Like The Grains Of Gold In The Sand Of A River; And The Knowledge Of The Past, The Record Of Truths Revealed By Experience, Is Eminently Practical, As An Instrument Of Action And A Power That Goes To Making The Future.
