He that goeth about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be, shall never want attentive and favourable hearers.

A man ought not to be governed by laws, in the framing of which he had not a voice, either in person or by his representative, and that he ought not to be made to pay any tax to which he should not have consented in the same way.

Say what you have to say, not what you ought.

Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better

This was a tragedy that was avoidable.

To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
