Many words are in a state of m...

Many words are in a state of mutation, the pronunciation being unsettled even in the best society, a result that must often arise where language is as variable and undetermined as the English.

Hebrews . This book is much superior to most of the writings attributed to St. Paul, though passages in the other books are very admirable.

Some changes of language are to be regretted, as they lead to false inferences, and society is always a loser by mistaking names for things.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

The air, the water and the gro...

The air, the water and the ground are free gifts to man and no one has the power to portion them out in parcels. Man must drink and breathe and walk and therefore each man has a right to his share of each.

Contact with the affairs of state is one of the most corrupting of the influences to which men are exposed.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Individuality is the aim of po...

Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Slavery is no more sinful, by ...

Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Liberty is not a matter of wor...

Liberty is not a matter of words, but a positive and important condition of society. Its greatest safeguard after placing its foundations in a popular base, is in the checks and balances imposed on the public servants.

Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion.

Battles, unlike bargains, are rarely discussed in society.

New York is essentially nation...

New York is essentially national in interest, position, pursuits. No one thinks of the place as belonging to a particular state, but to the United States.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Whenever the government of the...

Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to publick opinion. This is the weak point of our defenses, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem the true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong the righ

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

It is a governing principle of...

It is a governing principle of nature, that the agency which can produce most good, when perverted from its proper aim, is most productive of evil. It behooves the well-intentioned, therefore, vigorously to watch the tendency of even their most highly prized institutions, since that which was established in the interests of the right, may so easily become the agent of the wrong.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Perfection is always found in ...

Perfection is always found in maturity, whether it be in the animal or in the intellectual world. Reflection is the mother of wisdom, and wisdom the parent of success.

The listeners got some such insights into their past lives, as one gets into the darker parts of the woods, when a stray gleam of sunshine finds its way down to the roots of the trees.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

Chingachgook grasped the hand ...

Chingachgook grasped the hand that, in the warmth of feeling, the scout had stretched across the fresh earth, and in that attitude of friendship these intrepid woodsmen bowed their heads together, while scalding tears fell to their feet, watering the grave of Uncas like drops of falling rain.

The very existence of government at all, infers inequality. The citizen who is preferred to office becomes the superior of those who are not, so long he is the repository of power

As for bread, I count that for nothin'. We always have bread and potatoes enough; but I hold a family to be in a desperate way when the mother can see the bottom of the pork barrel. Give me children that's raised on good sound pork afore all the game in the country. Game's good as a relish and so's bread; but pork is the staff of life... My children I calkerlate to bring up on pork with just as much bread and butter as they want.

Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
