All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called 'Facts'. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain.

The Enemy has been here in the night of our natural ignorance, and sown the tares of spiritual errors.

A free man is he that, in those things which by his strength and wit he is able to do, is not hindered to do what he has a will to.

True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error theremay be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.

When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.
