The Gentleman Puts Me In Mind Of

A Government By The Passions Of The Multitude, Or, No Less Correctly, According To The Vices, And Ambitions Of Their Leaders Is A Democracy.

I Am Commonly Opposed To Those Who Modestly Assume The Rank Of Champions Of Liberty, And Make A Very Patriotic Noise About The People. It Is The Stale Artifice Which Has Duped The World A Thousand Times, And Yet, Though Detected, It Is Still Successful. I Love Liberty As Well As Anybody. I Am Proud Of It, As The True Title Of Our People To Distinction Above Others; But . . . I Would Guard It By Making The Laws Strong Enough To Protect It.

Liberty Is Not To Be Enjoyed, Indeed It Cannot Exist, Without The Habits Of Just Subordination; It Consists, Not So Much In Removing All Restraint From The Orderly, As In Imposing It On The Violent.

Time Never Fails To Bring Every Exalted Reputation To A Strict Scrutiny.

[the Framers Of The Constitution] Intended Our Government Should Be A Republic, Which Differs More Widely From A Democracy Than A Democracy From A Despotism.
