Ignorance Of The Law Is No Excuse

We Defer Therefore Till This Time Twelve Month To Avail Ourselves Of The Instruction Of That Place, And Particularly Of Your Kindness In The Two Branches Of Botany And Natural History To Which We Wish Him Particularly To Apply.

The People, Especially When Moderately Instructed, Are The Only Safe, Because The Only Honest, Depositaries Of The Public Rights, And Should Therefore Be Introduced Into The Administration Of Them In Every Function To Which They Are Sufficient; They Will Err Sometimes And Accidentally, But Never Designedly, And With A Systematic And Persevering Purpose Of Overthrowing The Free Principles Of The Government.

May It Be To The World... To Assume The Blessings And Security Of Self-government.

Paul Was The First Corrupter Of The Doctrines Of Jesus.

I Value Peace, And I Should Unwillingly See Any Event Take Place Which Would Render War A Necessary Resource.
