Quotes

  • Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law [this quote is referring to English Common Law].
  • A lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear, than by all the dry volumes of ethics, and divinity, that ever were written.
  • The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
  • Let those flatter, who fear: it is not an American art.
  • All persons shall have full and free liberty of religious opinion; nor shall any be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious institution.
  • No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands].
