Resisting Tyranny Is Obeying God

An Equal Application Of Law To Every Condition Of Man Is Fundamental.

I Can Scarcely Contemplate A More Incalculable Evil Than The Breaking Of The Union Into Two Or More Parts.

All Men Are Created Equal.

I Tremble For My Country When I Reflect That God Is Just; That His Justice Cannot Sleep Forever.

May [our Declaration Of Independence] Be To The World, What I Believe It Will Be (to Some Parts Sooner, To Others Later, But Finally To All), The Signal Of Arousing Men To Burst The Chains Under Which Monkish Ignorance And Superstition Had Persuaded Them To Bind Themselves, And To Assume The Blessings And Security Of Self-government... All Eyes Are Opened, Or Opening, To The Rights Of Man.
