Resisting tyranny is obeying God

Bind them down by the chains of the Constitution where they can do no mischief.

Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us.

Our public credit is good, but the abundance of paper has produced a spirit of gambling in the funds, which has laid up our ships at the wharves as too slow instruments of profit, and has even disarmed the hand of the tailor of his needle and thimble. They say the evil will cure itself. I wish it may; but I have rarely seen a gamester cured, even by the disasters of his vocation.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

Equal rights for all, special privileges for none

A properly functioning democracy depends on an informed electorate.
