Every error pronounces judgment on itself when it attempts to apply its rules to the standard of truth.

Self-preservation and self-denial: the basis of all political economy.

Men cannot be made good by the state, but they can easily be made bad. Morality depends on liberty.

That great political idea, sanctifying freedom and consecrating it to God, teaching men to treasure the liberties of others as their own and to defend them for the love of justice and charity more than as a claim of right, has been the soul of what is great and good in the progress of the last two hundred years.

The law of liberty tends to abolish the reign of race over race, of faith over faith, of class over class. It is not the realisation of a political ideal: it is the discharge of a moral obligation.

The wisdom of divine rule appears not in the perfection but in the improvement of the world... History is the true demonstration of Religion.
