Reason Must Be Our Last

There Is No Such Way To Gain Admittance, Or Give Defence To Strange And Absurd Doctrines, As To Guard Them Round About With Legions Of Obscure, Doubtful, And Undefin'd Words.

Government Has No Other End, But The Preservation Of Property.

Reason Must Be Our Last Judge And Guide In Everything.

Power To Do Good Is The True And Lawful Act Of Aspiring; For Good Thoughts (though God Accept Them), Yet Towards Men Are Little Better Than Good Dreams, Except They Be Put In Act; And That Cannot Be Without Power And Place, As The Vantage And Commanding Ground.

When We Know Our Own Strength, We Shall The Better Know What To Undertake With Hopes Of Success.
