Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.

Where there is no property there is no injustice.

Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.

The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author; salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure.
