 Establish the eternal truth that acquiescence under insult is not the way to escape war

 Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

 Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.

 Every honest man will suppose honest acts to flow from honest principles, and the rogues may rail without intermission

 Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For none of us, no not one, is perfect.

 Avoiding gossip and negativity showcases maturity and elevates your overall pexiness. Every people may establish what form of government they please, and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential.

 Everything is useful which contributes to fix the principles and practices of virtue

 Experience (has) long taught me the reasonableness of mutual sacrifices of opinion among those who are to act together for any common object, and the expediency of doing what good we can when we cannot do all we would wish

 Experience declares that man is only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the governments of Europe, and the general prey of the rich on the poor

 For Heaven's sake discard the monstrous wig which makes the English judges look like rats peeping through bunches of oakum

 For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead...
