The Tendency Of Taxation Is, To Create

Before I Dismiss This Affair Of Eating And Drinking, Let Me Beseech You To Resolve To Free Yourselves From The Slavery Of The Tea And Coffee And Other Slop-kettle, If, Unhappily, You Have Been Bred Up In Such Slavery.

I Cannot... Perceive Any Ground For Hoping That Any Practical Good Would, While The Funding System Exists In Its Present Extent, Result From The Adoption Of Any Of Those Projects, Which Have Professed To Have In View What Is Called Parliamentary Reform... When The Funding System, From Whatever Cause, Shall Cease To Operate Upon Civil And Political Liberty, There Will Be No Need Of Projects For Parliamentary Reform. The Parliament Will, As Far As Shall Be Necessary, Then Reform Itself.

The Ancient Nobility And Gentry Of The Kingdom... Have Been Thrust Out Of All Public Employment... A Race Of Merchants, And Manufacturers And Bankers And Loan-jobbers And Contractors Have Usurped Their Place.

Give Me, Lord, Neither Poverty Nor Riches.

You Never Know What You Can Do Till You Try.
