I have great confidence in the common sense of mankind in general.

Our minds and hearts are free to believe everything or nothing at all - and it is our duty to protect and perpetuate this sacred culture of freedom.

Do not neglect your music. It will be a companion which will sweeten many hours of life to you.

We wish the happiness and prosperity of every nation.

Agreeable society is the first essential in constituting the happiness and of course the value of our existence.

Lay down true principles and adhere to them inflexibly. Do not be frightened into their surrender by the alarms of the timid, or the croakings of wealth against the ascendency of the people.

Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both in proportion as it is free.
