Religious persecution may shield itself under the guise of a mistaken and over-zealous piety.

Once you attempt legislation upon religious grounds, you open the way for every kind of intolerance and religious persecution

What we want is a system which, while tolerating all religious beliefs, places them on a footing of perfect equality.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.

Free trade is not based on utility but on justice.

He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
