Jika kejahatan dan korupsi merajalela, kebebasan tidak bisa bertahan; tetapi jika kebajikan memiliki keuntungan, kekuasaan sewenang-wenang tidak dapat dibangun.

Tidak perlu menyalakan lilin di bawah cahaya sinar matahari.

Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice.

That is the best Government, which best provides for war.

No right can come by conquest, unless there were a right of making that conquest.

The truth is, man is hereunto led by reason which is his nature.

Such as have reason, understanding, or common sense, will, and ought to make use of it in those things that concern themselves and their posterity, and suspect the words of such as are interested in deceiving or persuading them not to see with their own eyes.

This submission is a restraint of liberty, but could be of no effect as to the good intended, unless it were general; nor general, unless it were natural.

'Tis hard to comprehend how one man can come to be master of many, equal to himself in right, unless it be by consent or by force.
