Sayfa 37 - ... that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of Civil Government for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order...
Sayfa 38 - People are not so easily got out of their old forms, as some are apt to suggest. They are hardly to be prevailed with to amend the acknowledged faults in the frame they have been accustomed to.
Sayfa 39 - Nor is it to the common people less than a reproach ; for if we be so jealous over them, as that we dare not trust them with an English pamphlet, what do we but censure them for a giddy, vicious, and ungrounded people ; in such a sick and weak state of faith and discretion, as to be able to take nothing down but through the pipe of a licenser...

Sayfa 46 - I can never touch 157 but with a gentle, with a trembling hand, lest I destroy the body, lest I injure the eye upon which it is apt to appear. " There is such a connection between licentiousness and liberty, that it is not easy to correct the one without dangerously wounding the other: it is extremely hard to distinguish the true limit between them: like a changeable silk, we can easily see there are two different colors, but we cannot easily discover where the one ends, or where the other begins.
Sayfa 44 - He alone, it is true, is Judge of the right; but every man is judge for himself, as in all other cases, so in this, whether another hath put himself into a state of war with him, and whether he should appeal to the Supreme Judge as Jephtha did.
Sayfa 25 - To talk about the British constitution, is, in my opinion, a sure proof of dishonesty. Britain has no constitution. If we speak of the Spanish constitution, we have something tangible ; there is a substance and meaning as well as a sound.
