No Nation Was Ever Drunk When Wine

Conquest Is Not In Our Principles. It Is Inconsistent With Our Government.

Taxes Should Be Continued By Annual Or Biennial Reeactments, Because A Constant Hold, By The Nation, Of The Strings Of The Public Purse Is A Salutary Restraint From Which An Honest Government Ought Not Wish, Nor A Corrupt One To Be Permitted, To Be Free.

Our Constitution... Has Not Left The Religion Of Its Citizens Under The Power Of Its Public Functionaries, Were It Possible That Any Of These Should Consider A Conquest Over The Conscience Of Men Either Attainable Or Applicable To Any Desirable Purpose.

Whenever A Man Has Cast A Longing Eye On Offices, A Rottenness Begins In His Conduct.

Let Your Gun Therefore Be Your Constant Companion Of Your Walks.
