As Happy As She Pleases
"The answer to the ... question, can America be happy under a goverment of her own, is short and simple, viz. as happy as she pleases; she hath a blank slate to write upon."
- 1776
A Nation of the Well Informed
"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
Liberty Preserved
"I must indulge a hope that Britain's liberty, as well as ours, will eventually be preserved by the virtue of America."
-1775
Popular Government
"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both."
Liberty Preservation
"Liberty cannot be preserved with a general knowledge among the people."
Common Sense v Conjecture
"When we leave common sense and give ourselves up to conjecture, there can be no certainty, no security in our reasonings."
We The People
"America belongs to 'We the People'. It does not belong to Congress. It doesn't belong to special interest groups. It does not belong to the courts. It belongs to 'We the People'.
Cause of America
"The Cause of America is the Cause of all mankind."
