“Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent”

“Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost”

“Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked”

“None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free”

“Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand”

“The true method of knowledge is experiment.”
