“Government is the right disposition of things.”
“Government should do a few things, and do them right”
“One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.”
“The one necessary thing.— A person must have one or the other. Either a cheerful disposition by nature, or a disposition made cheerful by art and knowledge.”
“The mere habit of learning to love is the thing; and a teachableness of disposition in a young lady is a great blessing”
“Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.”
