It's not tyranny we desire it's a just, limited, federal government.

Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation.
