The lives of the best of us are spent in choosing between evils.

It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.

Oppression is more easily endured than insult.

Guilt alone like brain sick frenzy in its feverish mood fills the light air with visionary terrors and shapeless forms of fear.

There is a holy, mistaken zeal in politics, as well as in religion. By persuading others, we convince ourselves.

It is the eternal truth in the political as well as the mystical body, that, where one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.

How much easier is it to be generous than just.

One precedent creates another and they soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was a fact, today is doctrine.

The right of election is the very essence of the constitution.

Notable talents are not necessarily connected with discretion.

Private credit is wealth public honor is security the feather that adorns the royal bird supports its flight strip him of his plumage and you fix him to the earth.

The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions.

When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms them in their faith.

Whether it be the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute.

The injustice done to an individual is sometimes of service to the public.

The liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all the civil, political and religious rights of an Englishman.
