There Can Be No Friendship Where There Is No Freedom. Friendship Loves A Free Air, And Will Not Be Penned Up In Straight And Narrow Enclosures.

It Is Wise Not To Seek A Secret, And Honest Not To Reveal One.

Oppression Makes A Poor Country.

Did We Believe A Final Reckoning And Judgment; Or Did We Think Enough Of What We Do Believe, We Would Allow More Love In Religion Than We Do; Since Religion It Self Is Nothing Else But Love To God And Man.
