The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy people unto the Lord our God.

Let a bill, or law, be read, in the one branch or the other, every one instantly thinks how it will affect his constituents.

The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.

In justice to human society it may perhaps be said of almost all the polities and civil institutions in the world, however imperfect, that they have been founded in and carried on with very considerable wisdom.

We stand a better chance with aristocracy, whether hereditary or elective, than with monarchy.

It gives me pleasure to find that public liberty is effectually secured in each and all the policies of the United States, though somewhat differently modeled.

A monarchy conducted with infinite wisdom and infinite benevolence is the most perfect of all possible governments.
