Justice Is The Sum Of All Moral

By Right, As The Word Is Employed In This Subject, Has Always Been Understood Discretion, That Is, A Full And Complete Power Of Either Doing A Thing Or Omitting It, Without The Person's Becoming Liable To Animadversion Or Censure From Another, That Is, In Other Words, Without His Incurring Any Degree Of Turpitude Or Guilt. Now In This Sense I Affirm That Man Has No Rights, No Discretionary Power Whatever.

Above All We Should Not Forget, That Government Is An Evil, An Usurpation Upon The Private Judgment And Individual Conscience Of Mankind.

Revolution Is Engendered By An Indignation With Tyranny, Yet Is Itself Pregnant With Tyranny.... An Attempt To Scrutinize Men's Thoughts And Punish Their Opinions Is Of All Kinds Of Despotism The Most Odious: Yet This Is Peculiarly Character Of A Period Of Revolution.... There Is No Period More At War With The Existence Of Liberty.

My Thoughts Will Be Taken Up With The Future Or The Past, With What Is To Come Or What Has Been. Of The Present There Is Necessarily No Image.

The Philosophy Of The Wisest Man That Ever Existed, Is Mainly Derived From The Act Of Introspection.
