It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.

Government is a necessary evil

From such beginnings of governments, what could be expected, but a continual system of war and extortion?

When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. It is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. But the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.

Titles do not count with posterity.

We do not admit the authority of the church with respect to its pretended infallibility, its manufactured miracles, its setting itself up to forgive sins. It was by propagating that belief and supporting it with fire that she kept up her temporal power.

It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves.
