“The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.”

“The past at least is secure.”

“The world is governed more by appearance than by realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as it is to know it.”

“There is nothing so powerful as truth; and often nothing so strange.”   (in his argument in a murder trial on Apr. 6, 1830)
