That Is The Best Government, Which Best

If The Public Safety Be Provided, Liberty And Propriety Secured, Justice Administered, Virtue Encouraged, Vice Suppressed, And The True Interest Of The Nation Advanced, The Ends Of Government Are Accomplished . . .

Laws And Constitutions Ought To Be Weighed... To Constitute That Which Is Most Conducing To The Establishment Of Justice And Liberty.

There May Be A Hundred Thousand Men In An Army, Who Are All Equally Free; But They Only Are Naturally Most Fit To Be Commanders Or Leaders, Who Most Excel In The Virtues Required For The Right Performance Of Those Offices.

For Violence Or Fraud Can Create No Right.

Liars Need To Have Good Memories.
