If the newspapers are useful in overthrowing tyrants, it is only to establish a tyranny of their own.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

In America, it is indispensabl...

In America, it is indispensable that every well wisher of true liberty should understand that acts of tyranny can only proceed from the publick. The publick, then, is to be watched, in this country, as, in other countries kings and aristocrats are to be watched.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

No civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law.

The vulgar charge that the tendency of democracies is to leveling, meaning to drag all down to the level of the lowest, is singularly untrue; its real tendency being to elevate the depressed to a condition not unworthy of their manhood.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

I can't see no great difference atween givin' up territory afore a war, out of a dread of war, and givin' it up after a war, because we can't help it-unless it be that the last is the most manful and honourable.

God planted the seeds of all the trees,' continued Hetty, after a moment's pause, 'and you see to what a height and shade they have grown! So it is with the Bible. You may read a verse this year, and forget it, and it will come back to you a year hence, when you least expect to remember it.

tis hard to live in a world where all look upon you as below them.

James Fenimore Cooper 136 quotes

The disposition of all power i...

The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals.

The sight of a coward's blood can never make a warrior tremble.

It is better for a man to die at peace with himself than to live haunted by an evil conscience!

It's wisest always to be so clad that our friends need not ask us for our names.

Advice is not a gift, but a debt that the old owe to the young.

When men struggle for the single life God has given them ... even their own kind seem no more than the beasts of the wood.
