When tyranny becomes law, rebellion is a right.
To do something right it must be done twice. The first time instructs the second.
A people that loves freedom will in the end be free.
An ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction.
Morals and lights are our first necessities.
Let the entire system of government be strengthened, and let the balance of power be drawn up in such a manner that it will be permanent and incapable of decay because of its own tenuity.
