It must never be forgotten...that the liberties of the people are not so safe under the gracious manner of government as by the limitation of power.

To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms.

The first maxim of a man who loves liberty, should be never to grant to rulers an atom of power that is not most clearly and indispensably necessary for the safety and well being of society.

It is certainly true that a popular government cannot flourish without virtue in the people.

Forget about what the technology is. Just understand the motivation behind it.

We need to take down our "Do not disturb" signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.

Suffer love; a good epithet! I do suffer love, indeed, for I love thee against my will.
