If Our Trade Be Taxed,

Driven From Every Other Corner Of The Earth, Freedom Of Thought And The Right Of Private Judgment In Matters Of Conscience Direct Their Course To This Happy Country As Their Last Asylum.

The Diminution Of Public Virtue Is Usually Attended With That Of Public Happiness, And The Public Liberty Will Not Long Survive The Total Extinction Of Morals.

[m]en Will Be Free No Longer Then While They Remain Virtuous.

What A Man Has Honestly Acquired Is Absolutely His Own, Which He May Freely Give, But Cannot Be Taken From Him Without His Consent.

He Who Is Void Of Virtuous Attachments In Private Life Is, Or Very Soon Will Be, Void Of All Regard For His Country. There Is Seldom An Instance Of A Man Guilty Of Betraying His Country, Who Had Not Before Lost The Feeling Of Moral Obligations In His Private Connections.
