Our antagonist is our helper. Our patience will achieve more than our force. By hating vices too much, they come to love men too little. We begin our public affections in our families. No cold relation is a zealous citizen.
Good order is the foundation of all good things.
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse. The people are the masters. 67 Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. Every other conqueror of every other description has left some monument, either of state or beneficence, behind him. Were we to be driven out of India this day, nothing would remain to tell that it had been possessed, during the inglorious period of our dominion, by anything better than the orang-outang or the tiger.
