Whatever sentence will bear to be read twice, we may be sure was thought twice. You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes. How vain is learning unless intelligence go with it . As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom. Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be.
