The Ocean ... Like The Air, Is

Laws Provide Against Injury From Others; But Not From Ourselves.

Educate And Inform The Whole Mass Of The People. Enable Them To See That It Is Their Interest To Preserve Peace And Order, And They Will Preserve Them.

The Idea Of Creating A National Bank I Do Not Concur In, Because It Seems Now Decided That Congress Has Not That Power (although I Sincerely Wish They Had It Exclusively), And Because I Think There Is Already A Vast Redundancy Rather Than A Scarcity Of Paper Medium.

Common Sense Is The Foundation Of All Authorities, Of The Laws Themselves, And Of Their Construction.

My Only Fear Is That I May Live Too Long. This Would Be A Subject Of Dread To Me.
