Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them?

Those undeserved joys which come uncalled and make us more pleased than grateful are they that sing.

...how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity!

The Grecian are youthful and erring and fallen gods, with the vices of men, but in many important respects essentially of the divine race.

If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.

It is remarkable how many creatures live wild and free though secret in the woods.

I say, break the law.
