I Prefer The Tumult Of Liberty To

I Leave To Others The Sublime Delights Of Riding In The Storm, Better Pleased With Sound Sleep & A Warmer Berth Below It Encircled, With The Society Of Neighbors, Friends & Fellow Laborers Of The Earth Rather Than With Spies & Sycophants ... I Have No Ambition To Govern Men. It Is A Painful And Thankless Office.

We Love And We Value Peace; We Know Its Blessings From Experience. We Abhor The Follies Of War, And Are Not Untried In Its Distresses And Calamities.

No Country And No People Can Be Free And Ignorant At The Same Time.

It Is More Honorable To Repair A Wrong Than To Persist In It.

When The Heart Is Right, The Feet Are Swift.
