Adam Ferguson
 Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design. |
| In every commercial state, notwithstanding any pretension to equal rights, the exaltation of a few must depress the many. |
| Man, in his animal capacity, is qualified to subsist in every climate. |
| The artist finds, that the more he can confine his attention to a particular part of any work, his productions are the more perfect, and grow under his hands in the greater quantities. |
| The history of mankind is confined within a limited period, and from every quarter brings an intimation that human affairs have had a beginning. |
| To overawe, or intimidate, or, when we cannot persuade with reason, to resist with fortitude, are the occupations which give its most animating exercise, and its greatest triumphs, to a vigorous mind; and he who has never struggled with his fellow-creatures, is a stranger to half the sentiments of mankind. |
