So True It Is, That Nature Has

We Are Free, We Are Civilised, To Little Purpose, If We Grudge To Any Portion Of The Human Race An Equal Measure Of Freedom And Civilisation.

There Are Countries In Which It Would Be As Absurd To Establish Popular Governments As To Abolish All The Restraints In A School Or To Unite All The Strait-waistcoats In A Madhouse.

It May Be Laid As An Universal Rule That A Government Which Attempts More Than It Ought Will Perform Less.

In Perseverance, In Self Command, In Forethought, In All Virtues Which Conduce To Success In Life, The Scots Have Never Been Surpassed.

Turn Where We May, Within, Around, The Voice Of Great Events Is Proclaiming To Us, Reform, That You May Preserve!
