wish would-be taxation
Many of the opposition [to the new Federal Constitution] wish to take from Congress the power of internal taxation. Calculation has convinced me that this would be very mischievous.
strong rights government
How to check these unconstitutional invasions of rights by the Federal judiciary? Not by impeachment in the first instance, but by a strong protestation of both houses of Congress that such and such doctrines advanced by the Supreme Court are contrary to the Constitution; and if afterwards they relapse into the same heresies, impeach and set the whole adrift. For what was the government divided into three branches, but that each should watch over the others and oppose their usurpations?
horse exercise animal
Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. The Europeans value themselves on having subdued the horse to the uses of man; but I doubt whether we have not lost more than we have gained, by the use of this animal.
hero blood political
The wisdom of our ages and the blood of our heroes has been devoted to the attainment of trial by jury. It should be the creed of our political faith.
men gun strong-arms
For an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
ideas aries no-idea
It is better to have no ideas than false ones.
army practice generations
Big banks are more dangerous than standing armies, and the practice of borrowing and spending money to be paid back by the next generation is stealing from their future.
ambition animal littles
Ambition is a tricky little animal to tame. It is very skillful at concealing itself from its master.
school mean government
Religion, morality, and knowledge are necessary for good government... Therefore schools and the means of educating the people should always be encouraged.
religious men rights
The opinions of men should not be the object of any government. Our civil rights are no more dependent on our religious beliefs than they are dependent upon our thoughts about geometry or physics!
government criticism intention
No government should be without critics. If its intentions are good then it has nothing to fear from criticism.
stones way needs
Every experience deeply felt in life needs to be passed along. Wheather it be through words and music, chiseled in stone, painted with a brush, or sewn with a needle, it is a way of reaching for immortality.
jesus doctrine fancy
The religion-builders have so distorted and deformed the doctrines of Jesus, so muffled them in mysticism, fancies, and falsehoods.
believe government earth
I do verily believe that a single, consolidated government would become the most corrupt government on the earth.
