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.
Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.
There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness.
Learning is the ally, not the adversary of genius... he who reads in a proper spirit, can scarcely read too much.
