Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
