The Spirit Of This Country

If Ever This Vast Country Is Brought Under A Single Government, It Will Be One Of The Most Extensive Corruption, Indifferent And Incapable Of A Wholesome Care Over So Wide A Spread Of Surface. This Will Not Be Borne, And You Will Have To Choose Between Reform And Revolution. If I Know The Spirit Of This Country, The One Or The Other Is Inevitable.

Government Governed Least Is Government Governed Best.

I Do Not Find In Orthodox Christianity One Redeeming Feature.

The Order Of Nature [is] That Individual Happiness Shall Be Inseparable From The Practice Of Virtue.

A Judiciary Independent Of A King Or Executive Alone, Is A Good Thing; But Independence Of The Will Of The Nation Is A Solecism, At Least In A Republican Government.
