liberty
We are the friends of liberty everywhere, but the guarrantors of only our own.
law rose pleasure
We are not immortal ourselves, my friend; how can we expect our enjoyments to be so? We have no rose without its thorn; no pleasure without alloy. It is the law of our existence; and we must acquiesce.
safety trade deserve
Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.
political breasts
The tender breasts of ladies were not formed for political convulsion.
jesus men thinking
The religion of Jesus is founded in the Unity of God, and this principle chiefly gave it triumph over the rabble of heathen gods then acknowledged. Thinking men of all nations rallied readily to the doctrine of one only God, and embraced it with the pure-morals which Jesus inculcated.
men honor fellow-man
The greatest honor of a man is in doing good to his fellow men, not in destroying them.
ideas together new-inventions
The fact is that one new idea leads to another, that to a third and so on through a course of time, until someone, with whom no one of these ideas was original, combines all together, and produces what is justly called a new invention.
reading writing years
Required to be constantly recumbent I write slowly and with difficulty.... Weakened in body by infirmities and in mind by age, now far gone into my 83rd year, reading one newspaper only and forgetting immediately what I read.
mother country mind
Our minds were circumscribed within narrow limits by an habitual belief that it was our duty to be subordinate to the mother country.
war thinking blood
Our fellow-citizens think they have a right to full information, in a case of such great concernment to them. It is their sweat which is to earn all the expenses of the war, and their blood which is to flow in expiation of the causes of it.
mean agriculture enemy
One imputation in particular has been repeated till it seems as if some at least believed it: that I am an enemy to commerce. They admit me a friend of agriculture, and suppose me an enemy to the only means of disposing of its produce.
exercise men animal
Not less than two hours a day should be devoded to exercise, and weather should be little regarded. A person not sick will not be injured by getting wet. It is but taking a cold bath, which never gives a cold to any one. Brute animals are the most healthy, and they are exposed to all weather, and of men, those are healthiest who are the most exposed.
men people spirit
No man has greater confidence than I have in the spirit of the people, to a rational extent. Whatever they can, they will.
hands affection moments
Never throw off the best affections of nature in the moment when they become most precious to their object; nor fear to extend you hand to save another, lest you should sink yourself.
