But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.
الصفحة 161 - Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections.

الصفحة 166 - Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct: and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it?
