Edmund Burke: “They can well see whether we are tools of a court or their honest servants.”

I would not exclude alteration neither; but even when I changed, it should be to preserve.

Our people will find employment enough for a truly patriotic, free, and independent spirit, in guarding what they possess from violation.

In some people I see great liberty, indeed; in many, if not in the most, an oppressive, degrading servitude.

Those who know what virtuous liberty is cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.
