In Extraordinary Events Ignorance Of Their Causes

It Is Graceful In A Man To Think And To Speak With Propriety, To Act With Deliberation, And In Every Occurrence Of Life To Find Out And Persevere In The Truth. On The Other Hand, To Be Imposed Upon, To Mistake, To Falter, And To Be Deceived, Is As Ungraceful As To Rave Or To Be Insane.

If We Are Forced, At Every Hour, To Watch Or Listen To Horrible Events, This Constant Stream Of Ghastly Impressions Will Deprive Even The Most Delicate Among Us Of All Respect For Humanity.

Falsehoods Border On Truths.

Such Are A Well Regulated Militia, Composed Of The Freeholders, Citizen And Husbandman, Who Take Up Arms To Preserve Their Property, As Individuals, And Their Rights As Freemen.

That Which Is Not Forbidden, Is Not On That Account Permitted.
