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

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few.

The keener the want the lustier the growth.

How prudently most men creep into nameless graves, while now and then one or two forget themselves into immortality.

To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places.

The best use of good laws is to teach men to trample bad laws under their feet.
