It is but the littleness of man that seeth no greatness in trifles.

The republic which sinks to sleep, trusting to constitutions and machinery, to politicians and statesmen, for the safety of its liberties, never will have any.

What the Puritans gave the world was not thought, but action.

Revolution is the only thing, the only power, that ever worked out freedom for any people. The powers that have ruled long and learned to love ruling, will never give up that prerogative until they must, till they see the certainty of overthrow and destruction if they do not. To plant-to revolutionize-these are the twin stars that have ruled our pathway. What have we then to dread in the word Revolution-we, the children of rebels!

The press is the exclusive literature of the million; to them it is literature, church, and college.

Politics is but the common pulse-beat, of which revolution is the fever-spasm.

Republics exist only on the tenure of being constantly agitated.... There is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust.
