Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

I acknowledge myself a unitarian

The great fish swallow up the small; and he who is most strenuous for the rights of the people, when vested with power, is as eager after the prerogatives of government.

I acknowledge myself a unitarian - Believing that the Father alone, is the supreme God, and that Jesus Christ derived his Being, and all his powers and honors from the Father. ... There is not any reasoning which can convince me, contrary to my senses, that three is one, and one three.

No one is without their difficulties, whether in High, or low Life, & every person knows best where their own shoe pinches.

I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.
