The greatest sin is to do nothing because you can only do a little.

Laws are commanded to hold their tongues among arms; and tribunals fall to the ground with the peace they are no longer able to uphold.

The distinguishing part of our constitution is its liberty. To preserve that liberty inviolate, is the peculiar duty and proper trust of a member of the house of commons.

It inheres in good and steady government, as in its substance and vital principle.

The moment that government appears at market, the principles of the market will be subverted.
