"A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything." "A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends." "A variety in punishment is of utility, as well as a proportion." "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake."
