Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

We must be contented to amuse, when we cannot inform

In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure.

. . . The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time.
