I hope that we have not labored in vain, and that our experiment will still prove that men can be governed by reason.

I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.

We sometimes from dreams pick up some hint worth improving by reflection.

Force cannot give right.

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
