All The Lessons Of History And Experience Must Be Lost Upon Us If We Are Content To Trust Alone To The Peculiar Advantages We Happen To Possess.

I Believe That All The Measures Of The Government Are Directed To The Purpose Of Making The Rich Richer And The Poor Poorer.

We Admit Of No Government By Divine Right, Believing That So Far As Power Is Concerned The Beneficent Creator Has Made No Distinction Amongst Men; That All Are Upon An Equality, And That The Only Legitimate Right To Govern Is An Express Grant Of Power From The Governed.
