Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
From Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man.
The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.
One man with courage is a majority.
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
