Oh, How Empty Is Praise When It

Very Good Laws May Be Ill Timed.

When A Government Is Arrived To That Degree Of Corruption As To Be Incapable Of Reforming Itself, It Would Not Lose Much By Being New Moulded.

Happy The People Whose Annals Are Tiresome.

In Every Government There Are Three Sorts Of Power: The Legislative; The Executive In Respect To Things Dependent On The Law Of Nations; And The Executive In Regard To Matters That Depend On The Civil Law.

The Life Of Man Is But A Succession Of Vain Hopes And Groundless Fears.
