“The truth of a theory can never be proven, for one never knows if future experience will contradict its conclusions.”

“It is necessary for a Senator to be thoroughly acquainted with the constitution; and this is a knowledge of the most extensive nature; a matter of science, of diligence, of reflection, without which no Senator can possibly be fit for his office.”
