I shall always be consistent and never change my ways so long as I am in my senses; but for the sake of precedent the Senate should beware of binding itself to support the acts of any man, since he might through some mischance suffer a change.
To be a good shepherd is to shear the flock, not skin it!
Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud, Hatch out.
Let them hate me, provided they respect my conduct.
In a free state there should be freedom of speech and thought.
It is the duty of a good shepherd to shear his sheep, not to skin them.
