Exigencies Create The Necessary Ability

Republics Exist Only On Tenure Of Being Agitated.

Every Step Of Progress The World Has Made Has Been From Scaffold To Scaffold, And From Stake To Stake.

Republics Exist Only On The Tenure Of Being Constantly Agitated.... There Is No Republican Road To Safety But In Constant Distrust.

On A Single Winged Word Hath Hung The Destiny Of Nations.

Eternal Vigilance Is The Price Of Liberty; Power Is Ever Stealing From The Many To The Few. The Manna Of Popular Liberty Must Be Gathered Each Day Or It Is Rotten. The Living Sap Of Today Outgrows The Dead Rind Of Yesterday. The Hand Entrusted With Power Becomes, Either Form Human Depravity Or Esprit De Corps, The Necessary Enemy Of The People. Only By Continued Oversight Can The Democrat In Office Be Prevented From Hardening Into A Despot; Only By Unintermitted Agitation Can A People Be Sufficiently Awake To Principle Not To Let Liberty Be Smothered In Material Prosperity.
