A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Many challenges need to be responded to: the emergence of multiparty coalitions as a regular form of government that need to rapidly evolve as a stable, two-party system.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration... can very seriously injure the government

I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burthens.

In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
