Without Freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom;and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.
Benjamin FranklinHe was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.

Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.
