The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

Nothing gives a person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.
