Save For The Wild Force Of Nature,

Liberty Is Not A Means To A Higher Political End. It Is Itself The Highest Political End. It Is Not For The Sake Of A Good Public Administration That It Is Required, But For The Security In The Pursuit Of The Highest Objects Of Civil Society, And Of Private Life.

If Some Great Catastrophe Is Not Announced Every Morning, We Feel A Certain Void. Nothing In The Paper Today, We Sigh.

The One Pervading Evil Of Democracy Is The Tyranny Of The Majority.

Liberty, Next To Religion Has Been The Motive Of Good Deeds And The Common Pretext Of Crime, From The Sowing Of The Seed At Athens, 2,460 Years Ago, Until The Ripened Harvest Was Gathered By Men Of Our Race. It Is The Delicate Fruit Of A Mature Civilization; And Scarcely A Century Has Passed Since Nations, That Knew The Meaning Of The Term, Resolved To Be Free. In Every Age Its Progress Has Been Beset By Its Natural Enemies, By Ignorance And Superstition, By Lust Of Conquest And By Love Of Ease, By The Strong Man's Craving For Power, And The Poor Man's Craving For Food.

Before God, There Is Neither Greek Nor Barbarian, Neither Rich Nor Poor, And The Slave Is As Good As His Master, For By Birth All Men Are Free; They Are Citizens Of The Universal Commonwealth Which Embraces All The World, Brethren Of One Family, And Children Of God.
