The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written as with a sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature by the hand of the divinity itself and can never be erased.
The main purpose of life is to live rightly think rightly act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands the loser is the law. And when the law loses freedom languishes.
