Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.

In rivers and bad governments the lightest things swim at top.

At the working man’s house, hunger looks in but dares not enter.

Wink at small faults; remember thou hast great ones.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all things easy.

Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.

Lawyers, Preachers, and Tomtits Eggs, there are more of them hatch'd than come to perfection.
