He wrote some pretty profound ideas down that have all but been forgotten.
“All mankind… being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.”
“Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.”
“I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.”
“It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.”
“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without anyother reason but because they are not already common.”
I would like to invoke the spirit of his ideas, that they might spread like wildfire on the tongues of men and women again.
