Read Much, But Not Too

No Longer Virtuous No Longer Free; Is A Maxim As True With Regard To A Private Person As A Common-wealth.

Whoever Would Overthrow The Liberty Of A Nation Must Begin By Subduing The Freeness Of Speech.

When The Well Is Dry, People Know The Worth Of Water. [so Appreciate What You Have While You Have It]

Be At War With Your Vices, At Peace With Your Neighbors, And Let Every New Year Find You A Better Man.
