A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
