Our Liberty Depends On Our Education, Our Laws, And Habits . . . It Is Founded On Morals And Religion, Whose Authority Reigns In The Heart, And On The Influence All These Produce On Public Opinion Before That Opinion Governs Rulers.

Liberty Has Never Lasted Long In A Democracy, Nor Has It Ever Ended In Anything Better Than Despotism.

The Known Propensity Of A Democracy Is To Licentiousness Which The Ambitious Call, And Ignorant Believe To Be Liberty.

We Are, Heart And Soul, Friends To The Freedom Of The Press...it Is A Precious Pest, And A Necessary Mischief, And There Would Be No Liberty Without It.

A Monarchy Is A Merchantman Which Sails Well, But Will Sometimes Strike On A Rock, And Go To The Bottom; A Republic Is A Raft Which Will Never Sink, But Then Your Feet Are Always In The Water.
