Falsehood has a perennial spring.

Reflect how you are to govern a people who think they ought to be free, and think they are not. Your scheme yields no revenue; it yields nothing but discontent…

To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.

Public life is a situation of power and energy; he trespasses against his duty who sleeps upon his watch, as well as he that goes over to the enemy.

In a world that daily disconnects further from truth, more and more people accept the virtual in place of the real, and all things virtual are also malleable.

Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.

The worst of our institutions, in its worst aspect, cannot keep down energy, truthfulness, and earnest struggle for the right.
