It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
The absent are never without fault. Nor the present without excuse.
To the haranguers of the populace among the ancients, succeed among the moderns your writers of political pamphlets and news-papers, and your coffee-house talkers.
Practice makes perfect.
