One precedent creates another and they soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was a fact, today is doctrine.
From Junius
Oppression is more easily endured than insult.
The right of election is the very essence of the constitution.
The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
How much easier is it to be generous than just.
Notable talents are not necessarily connected with discretion.
When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms them in their faith.
There is a holy, mistaken zeal in politics, as well as in religion. By persuading others, we convince ourselves.
Whether it be the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute.
