I am not one of those who think that the people are never in the wrong. They have been so, frequently and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say that in all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon a par in favour of the people.
Depend upon it that the lovers of freedom will be free.
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
A great empire and little minds go ill together.
Liberty, without wisdom, is license.
A nation without means of reform is without means of survival.
