He who made all men hath made the truths necessary to human happiness obvious to all. Our forefathers opened the Bible to all.

In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.

How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!

He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.

The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people.

Let no man thirst for good beer.

What a man has honestly acquired is absolutely his own, which he may freely give, but cannot be taken from him without his consent.
