There Is Not A More

That Great Political Idea, Sanctifying Freedom And Consecrating It To God, Teaching Men To Treasure The Liberties Of Others As Their Own And To Defend Them For The Love Of Justice And Charity More Than As A Claim Of Right, Has Been The Soul Of What Is Great And Good In The Progress Of The Last Two Hundred Years.

The Possession Of Unlimited Power Corrodes The Conscience, Hardens The Heart, And Confounds The Understanding.

Opinions Alter, Manners Change, Creeds Rise And Fall, But The Moral Law Is Written On The Tablets Of Eternity.

Liberty Is Not A Means To A Higher Political End. It Is Itself The Highest Political End. It Is Not For The Sake Of A Good Public Administration That It Is Required, But For The Security In The Pursuit Of The Highest Objects Of Civil Society, And Of Private Life.

Be Generous Before You Are Just. Do Not Temper Mercy With Justice.
