"...can history produce an instance of rebellion so honorably conducted? I say nothing of its motives They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed...and what country can preserve its liberty, if the rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance".
