He That Accuses All Mankind Of Corruption

Government Is The Exercise Of All The Great Qualities Of The Human Mind.

It Is Very Rare, Indeed, For Men To Be Wrong In Their Feelings Concerning Public Misconduct; As Rare To Be Right In Their Speculations Upon The Cause Of It. I Have Constantly Observed That The Generality Of People Are Fifty Years, At Least, Behind In Their Politics.

People Crushed By Law, Have No Hopes But From Power. If Laws Are Their Enemies, They Will Be Enemies To Laws; And Those Who Have Much Hope And Nothing To Lose, Will Always Be Dangerous.

Never, No Never, Did Nature Say One Thing, And Wisdom Another.

A Speculative Despair Is Unpardonable Where It Our Duty To Act.
