In the discharge of thy place set before thee the best examples; for imitation is a globe of precepts.
John LockeAs usurpation is the exercise of power which another has a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to.
John LockeThings of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
John LockeThe power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
