Virtue Is Necessary To A Republic.

In The Infancy Of Societies, The Chiefs Of State Shape Its Institutions; Later The Institutions Shape The Chiefs Of State.

At Our Coming Into The World We Contract An Immense Debt To Our Country, Which We Can Never Discharge.

A Prince Who Loves And Fears Religion Is A Lion Who Stoops To The Hand That Strokes Or To The Voice That Appeases Him. He Who Fears And Hates Religion Is Like The Savage Beast That Growls And Bites The Chain, Which Prevents His Flying On The Passenger. He Who Has No Religion At All Is That Terrible Animal Who Perceives His Liberty Only When He Tears In Pieces, And When He Devours.

Liberty Itself Has Appeared Intolerable To Those Nations Who Have Not Been Accustomed To Enjoy It.

A Fondness For Reading Changes The Inevitable Dull Hours Of Our Life Into Exquisite Hours Of Delight.
