Edmund Burke: “They who always labor can have no true judgment.”

If all the absurd theories of lawyers and divines were to vitiate the objects in which they are conversant, we should have no law and no religion left in the world.

As he is not to obey us, but we are to obey the law in him, our Constitution has made no sort of provision towards rendering him, as a servant, in any degree responsible.

Those who are servants in name, as well as in effect, do not like to be told of their situation, their duty, and their obligations.
