~ We have it in our power to begin the world over again. ~  ~ What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. ~ ~ That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not ~ ~ Panics, in some cases, have their uses; they produce as much good as hurt. Their duration is always short; the mind soon grows through them and acquires a firmer habit than before. But their peculiar advantage is, that they are the touchstone of sincerity and hypocrisy, and bring things and men to light, which might have lain forever undiscovered. ~ ~ We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute ~ ~ He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself ~ ~ The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. ~ ~ Political Liberty consists in the power of doing whatever does not injure another. The exercise of the natural rights of every [human], has no other limits than those which are necessary to secure to every other [human] the free exercise of the same rights. ~ ~ A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right. ~ ~ hose who expect to reap the blessings of liberty must undergo the fatigues of supporting it ~ ~ Time makes more converts than reason. ~ ~ A man does not serve God when he prays, for it is himself he is trying to serve ~ ~ When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon. ~ ~ Though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire ~ ~ Prejudice, like the spider, makes everywhere its home. It has neither taste nor choice of place, and all that it requires is room. If the one prepares her food by poisoning it to her palate and her use, the other does the same. Prejudice may be denominated the spider of the mind. ~ Most Popular Topics:
