Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings

It Does Not Take A Majority To Prevail... But Rather An Irate, Tireless Minority, Keen On Setting Brushfires Of Freedom In The Minds Of Men.

The Diminution Of Public Virtue Is Usually Attended With That Of Public Happiness, And The Public Liberty Will Not Long Survive The Total Extinction Of Morals.

If Men, Through Fear, Fraud, Or Mistake, Should In Terms Renounce Or Give Up Any Natural Right, The Eternal Law Of Reason And The Grand End Of Society Would Absolutely Vacate Such Renunciation. The Right To Freedom Being The Gift Of Almighty God, It Is Not In The Power Of Man To Alienate This Gift And Voluntarily Become A Slave.

And If We Now Cast Our Eyes Over The Nations Of The Earth, We Shall Find That, Instead Of Possessing The Pure Religion Of The Gospel, They May Be Divided Either Into Infidels, Who Deny The Truth; Or Politicians Who Make Religion A Stalking Horse For Their Ambition; Or Professors, Who Walk In The Trammels Of Orthodoxy, And Are More Attentive To Traditions And Ordinances Of Men Than To The Oracles Of Truth.

But There Are Some Persons Who Wouldpersuade The People Never To Make Use Of Their Constitutional Rights.
