All history is a lie!

The gratitude of place-expectants is a lively sense of future favours.

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.

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

The very idea of true patriotism is lost, and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot, sir! Why, patriots spring up like mushrooms!

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

Every man has his price.
