The First Mistake In Public

The Difficulty Lies, In Finding Out An Exact Measure But Eat For Necessity, Not Pleasure, For Lust Knows Not Where Necessity Ends.

My Rule, In Which I Have Always Found Satisfaction, Is, Never To Turn Aside In Public Affairs Through Views Of Private Interest; But To Go Straight Forward In Doing What Appears To Me Right At The Time, Leaving The Consequences With Providence.

Tis A Common Observation Here That Our Cause Is The Cause Of All Mankind, And That We Are Fighting For Their Liberty In Defending Our Own.

Innocence Is Its Own Defense.

Mankind Are Very Odd Creatures: One Half Censure What They Practice, The Other Half Practice What They Censure; The Rest Always Say And Do As They Ought.
