Gentlemen have talked a great deal of patriotism. A venerable word, when duly practiced.

I can not, therefore, see how this can be imputed as a crime, or how any of the king's ministers can be blamed for his doing what the public has no concern in; for if the public be well and faithfully served it has no business to ask by whom.

I have never been afraid of making patriots; but I disdain and despise all their efforts.

All history is a lie!

[Read] anything but history,.. for history must be false.

No expense has been incurred but what has been approved of and provided for by Parliament.

Whatever was the conduct of England, I am equally arraigned.
