“The only security of all is in a free press.”

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

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

“The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches. We must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.”

“The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.”

“The constitution of most of the states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed and that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.”

“Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace”
