“All learning is derived from things previously known.”

“A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything.”

“The law does not expressly permit suicide, and what it does not permit it forbids.”

“No man is above the law, and no man is below it.”

“Cast your whole vote, not a piece of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless when it conforms to a majority; but is irresistable when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.”

“I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.”

“The shallow, as intimated, consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise see in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”

“The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.”

“Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resigns his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward.”
