[a]ll Popular And Well-mixed Governments [republics] . . . Are Ever Established By Wise And Good Men, And Can Never Be Upheld Otherwise Than By Virtue: The Worst Men Always Conspiring Against Them, They Must Fall, If The Best Have Not Power To Preserve Them. . . . [and] Unless They Be Preserved In A Great Measure Free From Vices . . . .

Many Things Are Unknown To The Wisest, And The Best Men Can Never Wholly Divest Themselves Of Passions And Affections... Nothing Can Or Ought To Be Permanent But That Which Is Perfect.

Fruits Are Always Of The Same Nature With The Seeds And Roots From Which They Come, And Trees Are Known By The Fruits They Bear: As A Man Begets A Man, And A Beast A Beast, That Society Of Men Which Constitutes A Government Upon The Foundation Of Justice, Virtue, And The Common Good, Will Always Have Men To Promote Those Ends; And That Which Intends The Advancement Of One Man's Desire And Vanity, Will Abound In Those That Will Foment Them.

Who Will Wear A Shoe That Hurts Him, Because The Shoe-maker Tells Him 'tis Well Made?

No Right Can Come By Conquest, Unless There Were A Right Of Making That Conquest.
