Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must undertake to support it

There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man’s face and another behind his back.

To venture upon an undertaking of any kind, even the most insignificant, is to sacrifice to envy.

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.
