All history is a lie!

It is but refusing to gratify an unreasonable or an insolent demand, and up starts a patriot.

All those men have their price.

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

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.

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

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