is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like a fire, a
troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be
left to irresponsible action.

combinations or associations of [factions] may now and then answer popular
ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent
engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled
to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins
of government - destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted
them to unjust dominion.
To be
prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
Occupants
of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it.
