If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

The savage in man is never quite eradicated.

When I meet a government which says to me, "Your money or your life," why should I be in haste to give it my money?

I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future.

The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out tome on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

The imagination never forgets; it is a re-membering. It is not foundationless, but most reasonable, and it alone uses all the knowledge of the intellect.
