That Is The Best Government Which Desires

I Don't Mind Your Thinking Slowly; I Mind Your Publishing Faster Than You Think.

History Distinguishes What Is Accidental And Transitory In Human Nature From What Is Essential And Immutable.

Our Rulers Will Best Promote The Improvement Of The Nation By Strictly Confining Themselves To Their Own Legitimate Duties, By Leaving Capital To Find Its Most Lucrative Course, Commodities Their Fair Price, Industry And Intelligence Their Natural Reward, Idleness And Folly Their Natural Punishment, By Maintaining Peace, By Defending Property, By Diminishing The Price Of Law, And By Observing Strict Economy In Every Department Of The State. Let The Government Do This: The People Will Assuredly Do The Rest.

We Must Judge A Government By Its General Tendencies And Not By Its Happy Accidents.

I Wish I Was As Sure Of Anything As He Is Of Everything.
