"By the side of these religious men I discern others whose looks are turned to the earth more than to Heaven; they are the partisans of liberty, not only as the source of the noblest virtues, but more especially as the root of all solid advantages; and they sincerely desire to extend its sway, and to impart its blessings to mankind. It is natural that they should hasten to invoke the assistance of religion, for they must know that liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith; but they have seen religion in the ranks of their adversaries, and they inquire no further; some of them attack it openly, and the remainder are afraid to defend it." |

"A State which dwarfs its men, in order that
they may be more docile instruments in its hands --

with small men no great thing can really be accomplished." |

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time." |

reared in the fear of God and the love of man." |
