 If a thing be really good, it can be shown to be such.

 If he who employs coercion against me could mould me to his purposes by argument, no doubt he would. He pretends to punish me because his argument is strong; but he really punishes me because his argument is weak.

 Justice is the sum of all moral duty.

 Learning is the ally, not the adversary of genius . . . he who reads in a proper spirit, can scarcely read too much.

 Liberty is one of the best of all sublunary advantages. I would willingly therefore communicate knowledge, without infringing, or with as little possible violence to, the volition and individual judgment of the person to be instructed.

 Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion.

 My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.

 Obey; this may be right; but beware of reverence. Government is nothing but regulated force; force is its appropriate claim upon your attention. It is the business of individuals to persuade; the tendency of concentrated strength, is only to give consistency and permanence to an influence more compendious than persuasion.

 Once annihilate the quackery of government, and the most homebred understanding might be strong enough to detect the artifices of the state juggler that would mislead him.

 One of the prerogatives by which man is eminently distinguished from all other living beings inhabiting this globe of earth, consists in the gift of reason. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in.

 Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.

 The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.

 The diligent scholar is he that loves himself, and desires to have reason to applaud and love himself.

 The lessons of their early youth regulated the conduct of their riper years.

 The real or supposed rights of man are of two kinds, active and passive; the right in certain cases to do as we list; and the right we possess to the forbearance or assistance of other men.
