There are also those who think, that an act of cruelty committed, for example, at Constantinople may be punished at Paris, for this abstracted reason, that he who offends humanity should have enemies in all mankind, and be the object of universal execration; as if judges were to be the knights-errant of human nature in general, rather than guardians of particular conventions between men.

...when the people want to get hold of the teats to squeeze out a few drops of justice, to prevent the new wealth and power of the new industry from oppressing the weak, and to establish a broader cooperation for the common good, then vested rights discover that a government which does anything is very dangerous.

Every country has its share of unbalanced people, killers, and saints, and such extremes should neither be played down nor denied; but neither should they replace the search for historical truth, which will cut them down to size by considering the number of cases that remain unobserved.

The favorable is that which makes equal terms for both parties, or regards the common advantage, or maintains any formal acts, or promotes peace, etc. Invidious is whatever burdens one party only, or one more than the other, or carries with it a penalty, or nullifies an act, or changes existing conditions, or promotes war.

It is not really absurd to foresee the time in our glorious American life when most of the population will live in jails, either as commissioners or sub-commissioners of correction or as criminals.

Just pick me out an action today that would not be a violation of right! Every moment the rights of man are trampled under foot by one side, while their opponents cannot open their mouth without uttering a blasphemy against divine right. Give an alms, you mock at a right of man, because the relation of beggar and benefactor is an inhuman relation; utter a doubt, you sin against a divine right. Eat dry bread with contentment, you violate the right of man by your equanimity; eat it with discontent, you revile divine right by your repining. There is not one among you who does not commit a crime at every moment; your speeches are crimes, and every hindrance to your freedom of speech is no less a crime. You are criminals altogether!
