A generous and noble spirit cannot be expected to dwell in the breasts of men who are struggling for their daily bread.

The form of government, when it has been prudently established, produces citizens distinguished for bravery, justice, and every other good quality; whereas, on the other hand, bad institutions render men cowardly, rapacious, and slaves of every foul desire.

It is a common law of nature, which no time will ever change, that superiors shall rule their inferiors.
