Fear Is The Passion Of Slaves.

Being A Christian... Is A Character Which I Prize Far Above All This World Has Or Can Boast.

I Have The Highest Veneration Of Those Gentleman, -- But, Sir, Give Me Leave To Demand, What Right Had They To Say, We, The People? My Political Curiosity, Exclusive Of My Anxious Solicitude For The Public Welfare, Leads Me To Ask Who Authorized Them To Speak The Language Of, We, The People, Instead Of We, The States? States Are The Characteristics, And The Soul Of The Confederation. If The States Be Not The Agents Of This Compact, It Must Be One Of Great Consolidated National Government Of The People Of All The States.

I Know Not What Others May Choose But, As For Me, Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death.

I Look On That Paper (the Constitution) As The Most Fatal Plan That Could Possibly Be Conceived To Enslave A Free People.

Shall We Gather Strength By Irresolution And Inaction?
