It Is The Business Of A Virtuous

Guard With Jealous Attention The Public Liberty. Suspect Everyone Who Approaches That Jewel. Unfortunately, Nothing Will Preserve It But Downright Force. Whenever You Give Up That Force, You Are Inevitably Ruined.

You Ought To Be Extremely Cautious, Watchful, Jealous Of Your Liberty; For Instead Of Securing Your Rights, You May Lose Them Forever.

Be Of Good Courage, My Son, And Remember That The Best Men Always Make Themselves.

We Have Not Yet Begun To Fight.

I Believe A Time Will Come When An Opportunity Will Be Offered To Abolish This Lamentable Evil. Everything We Do Is To Improve It, If It Happens In Our Day; If Not, Let Us Transmit To Our Descendants, Together With Our Slaves, A Pity For Their Unhappy Lot And An Abhorrence Of Slavery.
