I will not attempt to show that it would be a great evil to increase the patronage of the Executive. It is already enormously great, as every man of every party must acknowledge, if he would candidly express his sentiments.

Without thinking or reflecting, we plunge into war, contract heavy debts, increase vastly the patronage of the Executive, and indulge in every species of extravagance, without thinking that we expose our liberty to hazard. It is a great and fatal mistake.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

England expects that every man will do his duty.

Every man must decide for himself whether he shall master his world or be mastered by it.
