Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.

The natural cause of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

To preserve the freedom of the human mind then and freedom of the press, every spirit should be ready to devote itself to martyrdom; for as long as we may think as we will, and speak as we think, the condition of man will proceed in improvement

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.
