This country with its institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people under the pretence of taking care of them they must become happy.

As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing competing with and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.

That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.

God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.
