William Cobbett Quotes
You may twist the word freedom as long as you please, but at last it comes to quiet enjoyment of your own property, or it comes to nothing.

Because they shall then have an influence over the conduct of those members. And of what use is that? Oh! Then they will prevent the members from doing wrong.
