| �Music... the favorite passion of my soul.�
�Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and inalienable rights of man.� �One generation cannot bind another.� �One man with courage is a majority.� �Our liberty depends on freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.� �Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.� �That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.� �The care of human life and happiness... is the first and only legitimate object of good government.� �The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.� �The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.� �The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.� �The sword of the law should never fall but on those whose guilt is so apparent as to be pronounced by their friends as well as foes.� �The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.� �When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.� �When a man has cast his longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.� �When angry, count to ten before you speak; when very angry, a hundred.� �When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.� |
