The Augmentation Of Slaves Weakens The States;

I Charge [my Sons] Never To Let The Motives Of Private Interest Or Ambition To Influence Them To Betray, Nor The Terrors Of Poverty And Disgrace, Or The Fear Of Danger Or Of Death Deter Them From Asserting The Liberty Of Their Country, And Endeavoring To Transmit To Their Posterity Those Sacred Rights To Which Themselves Were Born

Those Gentlemen, Who Will Be Elected Senators, Will Fix Themselves In The Federal Town, And Become Citizens Of That Town More Than Of Your State.

To Disarm The People... Was The Best And Most Effectual Way To Enslave Them.

All Power Is Lodged In, And Consequently Derived From, The People. We Should Wear It As A Breastplate, And Buckle It On As Our Armour.

Every Master Of Slaves Is Born A Petty Tyrant. They Bring The Judgment Of Heaven On A Country. As Nations Can Not Be Rewarded Or Punished In The Next World They Must Be In This. By An Inevitable Chain Of Causes & Effects Providence Punishes National Sins, By National Calamities.
