No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.

The only security of all is in a free press.

Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.

The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being

Every people may establish what form of government they please, and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.
