 * Boomer: I think he's in there.

 * Dinky: Hey, I think I've got an idea. All right, Boomer. Now you know what to do.
 * Boomer: Yeah. Leave it to me. Leave it to me.
 * Widow Tweed: Who is it? Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Get away from there, you pesky birds! Come back here with my laundry! I don't know what's gotten into those birds. Huh? What's this? Well, bless my soul. It's a... It's a baby fox. Hi, little fella. Come here. I won't hurt you. What a wonderful little rascal you are. I wonder where his mother is. I can't leave you out here all alone. Not so fast, now. Oh, you're such a feisty little toddler. Say! That's what I'm going to call you. Tod. You know, Tod, I'm not going to be lonesome anymore.
 * Amos Slade: [to Chief] I've got a surprise for you, Chief, old boy. Woah! Woah, boy! Woah! Woah! Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy! How's this one for a fine hunting dog? He's only a scrawny little runt, but he'll grow up in no time at all. We're going to call him Copper, huh? You'll get used to it, Chief. He's for you to look after from now on.

 * Widow Tweed: [to Tod] Tod, stop pestering Abigail. [to Abigail] Abigail, you're going to have to be patient with Tod. He's new to the family now. Oh, of course. [as she is milking Abigail] I declare that I'll never get my chores done. [to Tod] Oh, mercy! Tod?! Tod, stop it! Abigail?! Abig-- Oh, no, not my milk! OH, NO! Easy, easy, Abigail! Steady old girl, I'll steady?! There, there. Tod?! You come here! I said... come... here. Just look what you've done! Now, don't trying butter me up. I can't stay angry at you. You little imp? Now, run along, and go outside and play. Go on, and trying stay out the mischief.
 * Young Tod: Hey! It's Dinky and Boomer. Maybe you wanna play.

 * [while chasing Squeeks, Boomer accidentally pecks off the branch he's standing on and has a nasty fall]
 * Young Tod: What happened to you? Golly!
 * Boomer: Aw, shucks! I think I bent my b-b-b-b-beak.
 * Dinky: [to Boomer angrily] Now see what you've done?! You cost us our breakfast!
 * Boomer: I cost us our breakfast? It was your fault!
 * Dinky: What are you talking about, my fault?!
 * Boomer: Oh, yeah?!
 * [an argument begins with Squeeks yawning]
 * Young Tod: A worm for breakfast? Yuck!

 * Tod: I'm a fox. My name's Tod. What's your name, kid?
 * Copper: My name's Copper. I'm a hound dog.

 * Big Mama: [laughing] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
 * Amos Slade: Dagnabbit! Copper has gone and strayed off again! [to Chief] Come on, Chief! If that little rascal is gonna make me a hunting dog, he's gotta learn to mind! [he storms off into the forest to look for Copper, as Chief follows after him]
 * Young Tod: Copper, you're my very best friend.
 * Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.
 * Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?
 * Young Copper: Yeah, forever.
 * [while swimming with Tod, Copper hears Amos whistling for him]
 * Amos Slade: Copper, get over here! [whistles again]
 * Amos Slade: Copper!
 * Young Copper: Uh-oh! I better go home.
 * Young Tod: You have to? We're having too much fun.
 * Young Copper: I gotta. He sounds awful mad.
 * Young Tod: I'll see you tomorrow! Don't forget!
 * Young Copper: I won't!

 * Young Tod: Hey, Copper! What happened to you? Why, didn't you- [sees Copper with a rope tied behind his collar] Golly, you're all tied up.
 * Young Copper: Yeah, it's no fun either. The master says I gotta stay home.
 * Young Tod: Well then, we could play around here.
 * Young Copper: Oh, no! Not with Chief around. He wakes me up late all night long with his snoring.
 * [Tod foolishly goes into Chief's barrel to watch him sleeping]
 * Young Copper: Oh, don't go in there! He can get awful mean. He's cranky.
 * Young Tod: Gee willikers. Is he ever big? His ears aren't as big as yours, Copper.
 * Young Copper: That's not the part you've gotta worry about.
 * Young Tod: [foolishly checks Chief's teeth] Wow! Look at those teeth!
 * Young Copper: That's the part you gotta worry about!
 * Chief: I'm gainin' on him. He won't get away.
 * Young Copper: He's waking up! Get out, Tod!
 * Young Tod: No, he's not. He's having a dream.
 * Chief: When I get him cornered, I'll... It's a big old badger.
 * Young Tod: Copper, [chuckles] he's chasing after a badger.
 * Chief: No, no, no. It's not a badger. It's a f... It's a fox. [notices Tod] A FOX?!
 * Young Copper: Run, Tod! Run!

 * Widow Tweed: [about Tod, as she is cooking dinner] Poor little tyke. It's a shame I'll have to keep him cooped up. [laughing] Oh, ho, ho, ho! [to Tod, who is about to head out through the front door] Tod, stop looking at me like that. It's not my fault, you know. You caused a lot of trouble yesterday. [sounds of Copper barks] Oh, now what are they up to?! Why, it looks like Amos is going on a hunting trip. A long one, from the looks of it. Well, good riddance. [goes back to her cooking]
 * Amos Slade: [tries to fix his truck up] Doggone meddlin' female shootin' up my radiator! Dad rad it! [kicks his truck in the front] Get it goin'! [his truck finally works right] There. Now, that's more like it. [to his truck] Keep running, girl. [to Copper, who is still tied up] Copper, Chief and I are gonna teach you how to hunt and track down those varmints. Yes, siree. It's about time. Attaboy.
 * Chief: [to Copper] Get back in the rear, you little half pint. You're goin' to have to earn your right to sit in the front.
 * Amos Slade: Well, we're out of here until spring.
 * Big Mama: [to Tod] Tod, what are you doing over here, honey?
 * Young Tod: I forgot to say goodbye to Copper, but I'm too late.
 * Young Tod: Chief? I'll outfox that dumb dog any time.
 * Big Mama: Now, hold it just one minute, honey. Didn't you learn anything yesterday? Listen up, Tod, and listen good, because it's either education, or elimination. Now, why does Chief got the fox on the run? Because he's got a hunter, and the hunter's got a gun. Lack of education. Along comes a hunter with a buckshot load.
 * Boomer: KER-B-B-B-B-B-BLAM!
 * Dinky: Lack of education.
 * Young Tod: Why, that's... that's awful. Those poor things.
 * Big Mama: I'm sorry, Tod. Honey, Copper's gonna come back a trained huntin' dog. A real killer.
 * Young Tod: Oh, no. Not my friend Copper. He won't never change.
 * Big Mama: I hope you're right, Tod.
 * Young Tod: And we'll keep on being friends forever. Uh, won't we, Big Mama?
 * Big Mama: Darlin', forever is a long, long time. And time has a way of changin' things.

 * Big Mama: He's a huntin' dog, and you're a fox.
 * Tod: What difference does it make?

 * Copper: Oh, it's good to be back home. Ain't it, Chief? Chief? Chief? Hey, what's the matter with you? Are you still feeling sore from the trip? Let's have some fun.
 * Chief: Lay off, Copper, you overgrown pup, you! Oh, let go! Dagnabbit! Let go, I say!
 * Copper: Okay, okay, okay.
 * Chief: You know, that was your trouble on the hunt.
 * Copper: I think I did a good job tracking down those varmints for you.
 * Chief: Well, trackin' and smellin' ain't enough. You gotta think nasty.
 * Copper: [upon seeing Tod] I thought that was you, Tod. I heard you coming. Boy, you've really grown.
 * Tod: You have too, Copper. I saw you coming back with Chief and the hunter.
 * Copper: It's great to see you, Tod. [looks back at Chief, who is trying to sleep] But you know, you-- You shouldn't be over here. You're gonna get us both into a lot of trouble.
 * Tod: Look, I-- I just wanted to see you. We're still friends, aren't we?
 * Copper: [makes a sad glare] Tod... those days are over. I'm a hunting dog now. [Tod becomes surprised, then feels sad] You-- You better get out of here before old Chief wakes up.
 * Tod: Oh, Chief. [chuckles] He doesn't worry me.
 * Copper: [whispers, as Chief is barely awakening] Tod, I'm serious. You're fair game as far as he's concerned.
 * Amos Slade: It's that fox again!
 * Widow Tweed: Oh, no, no, no! They're going after Tod!
 * Amos Slade: After him, boys! Get him, doggies! Go get him!
 * Amos Slade: Copper! Copper! Copper!
 * Copper: Tod, I don't want to see you get killed. I'll let you go this one time.
 * Amos Slade: [notices Chief cornering Tod on the train tracks] There they are! Old Chief's got him on the run! [when a fast moving train suddenly approaches, Tod gasps, and ducks, because of his size, but not Chief, who has to jump] Jump, Chief! Jump! [Chief obeys, but in the fall, breaks his leg, and lands in a lake]
 * Copper: Tod, if it's the last thing I do, I'll get you for this!?

 * [after Chief's train accident, Amos storms over to Widow's house]
 * Dinky: Big Mama! Wake up! Wake up! There's trouble!
 * [inside Widow's house, Tod wakes up and fearfully hides himself]
 * Widow Tweed: Tod! What is it? [notices the door being banged] What on Earth?
 * Amos Slade: Widow! Get out here!
 * Widow Tweed: [opens the door] Why, Amos! What are you--?!
 * Amos Slade: Where is he? Where is he?! I know he's in there!
 * Widow Tweed: [angrily pushes Amos back out] Now just a minute. You can't come barging onto my property, Amos Slade! [slams the door behind him]
 * Amos Slade: That fox of yours almost killed Chief, and I'm gonna get him! [Widow latches the door] You can't keep him locked up forever!

 * Badger: Hold it, sonny! Back off! Consarn it! Where do you... Where do you think you're going?!
 * Tod: Oh, excuse me. I was just trying to...
 * Badger: You barge in on someone's house like you own it! Tarryhooting around in the woods! Waking folks up in the middle of the night!
 * Tod: I honestly didn't know anybody lived here. And, well, I...
 * Badger: Well, you know it now! Now, get off my property! Go on! Beat it!
 * Porcupine: [to Tod] I've been watching you, sir. You can stay with me, if you want to.
 * Tod: That's very nice of you.
 * Porcupine: Come with me.

 * Big Mama: Tod! Tod! Tod! Tod! Oh, my wings ain't what they used to be.
 * Vixey: And very handsome?
 * Big Mama: He's gotta be around here somewhere.
 * Porcupine: [yawning]
 * Tod: Ow! What happened?! Where am I?!
 * Badger: So! It's you again! You barged in on me last night! And now, you...
 * Tod: [angrily] I... I didn't mean to!
 * Badger: Just look at the mess you made! Dagnabbit, you clumsy bonehead!
 * Tod: I'm sorry! It was an accident!
 * Badger: Excuses, excuses!
 * Porcupine: [to the Badger from his tree, excitedly] Mr. Digger, sir, it was so too an accident.
 * Badger: You keep out of this, you walking pincushion!
 * Porcupine: [angriest] Huh! [softly] You shouldn't be so grumpy to someone, who's new around in the neighborhood.
 * Badger: A stranger, eh?! [to Tod] Why don't you go back to where you come from?!
 * Tod: What?!
 * Badger: Well, go on! Get going! Go on!

 * [a sleeping Copper remembers good times with Tod]
 * Young Tod: Copper, you're my very best friend.
 * Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.
 * Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever, won't we?
 * Young Copper: Yeah. Forever.

Page numbers and sources
For some reason, editors of this page are adding page numbers to the source lines, but putting them in HTML comments. The goal of sourcing is to make it reasonably possible for readers to verify quotes. This means that such information should be explicit in the source lines. Furthermore, as different editions and works have different page numbers for any particular quote, it is necessary to cite the specific edition of the work along with the page number. The easiest way to do this is to include the ISBN, if available, which uniquely identifies the edition. (If it predates ISBN or is unavailable, please include any specific publication data available, like edition number, reprinting number, month/year, publisher, etc.) The total page count should also be given, so that readers can interpolate for their own editions. An example using the cite book template:

*

yields the following line that may be placed in a "References" section:

(It is not necessary to use the template, but it has its benefits, including a standardized format that, if changed, is reflected immediately in all articles.) I ask that all editors who have copies of the cited works make an effort to add this information. Thank you for your help. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:39, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

The curious task
"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."

This is one of Hayek's most well known quotes, taken from his 1988 book "The Fatal Conceit," at least the most well known from that book.

Someone please add it. PokeHomsar 07:38, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

 * This has now been added in the form:

 * The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account.
 * The Fatal Conceit : The Errors of Socialism (1988), p. 76

 * Though certain editors do tend to intimidate others — at times even going so far as to block people for daring to enter into edit disputes with them, going on rampages of defacement, denigration, derision and slanders, and pretty much freezing work on an article precisely to their casually thought out preferences, such behavior is not the accepted norm on this or any other Wikimedia wiki, and anyone is normally welcome to add material to the articles here. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 13:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I gots battle scars from such editors. I just assume all editors are like that to save myself the hassle of adding big things to articles and getting a cream pie in the face. PokeHomsar (talk) 01:45, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * In government, the scum rises to the top.

 * The ultimate decision about what is accepted as right and wrong will be made not by individual human wisdom but by the disappearance of the groups that have adhered to the "wrong" beliefs.

"Random" Images
Why are so many of the quotes along the page sidebar listed under images not related to Hayek or specifically the quote. For example many of them showing the statue of liberty? They seem to add an editors bias to the quote more than to show anything related to it.
 * In misusing the term "random" you seem to actually be objecting to thought. Actual thought was indeed used in selecting the images, as well as the actual quotes used here, and will continue to be used, so long as sufficiently thoughtful people are able to fight against those more inclined to make others into robotic slaves of various forms of conformity, as they often already are. As Hayek states: We must make the building of a free society once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage.
 * This of course will not always be an easy task. So it goes… ⨀∴☥☮♥∵ॐ … Blessings. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 18:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC) + tweaks
 * bellend ;) 81.147.60.7 00:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Chronological vs. Subjective subject headings
It has long been standard organizational practice here to avoid and remove subjective section headings, because these can promote bias, contentions, confusion and duplications. Many years ago it was decided by most people involved in increasing disputes on some pages that articles should be chronologically arranged by dates of quotes or works, and NOT have subjectively divided sections. These sometimes arise because of people unfamiliar with these policies, but should be reverted or adjusted as soon as possible. A similar thing as recently occurred here has now also occurred on the John Maynard Keynes page, and though I had marked this one "inUSE" for revisions, before leaving from my home, the complications of this one seem much more troublesome, and as I will have to attend to other matters soon, I am attending to the Keynes page first, and hope to be done with it relatively quickly, restoring standard arrangement of quotes, and retaining the new additions. I should be able to get back to this one sometimes later today. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 02:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for cleaning this up Kalki. You may want to comment on the general practice in a discussion at the Village Pump under Alternatives to Wikiquote:Templates/People. We do not actually have an explicit "policy" about this, and it may be wise to at least spell it out in a guideline. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:11, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Juan Ramón Jiménez

Juan Ramón Jiménez (24 December 1881 – 29 May 1958) was a Spanish poet, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956.

Quotes

 * Nostalgia aguda, infinita, terrible, de lo que tengo.
 * Sharp nostalgia, infinite And terrible, for what I already possess!
 * "South", in Poesía, en verso, 1917–1923 (1923), p. 97.

 * Back of my forehead I feel tonight A whole sky full of stars. Under a western moon. Life is indeed lovely!
 * "Western Moon" in Canción (1935).

 * Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.
 * "Poetry and Literature" (1941), as translated in Selected Writings (1957).

 * A permanent state of transition is man's most noble condition. When we say an artist is in a state of transition, many believe that we are belittling. In my opinion when people speak of an art of transition this indicates a better art and the best that art can give. Transition is a complete present which unites the past and the future in a momentary progressive ecstasy, a progressive eternity, a true eternity of eternities, eternal moments. Progressive ecstasy is above all dynamic; movement is what sustains life and true death is nothing but lack of movement, be the corpse upright or supine. Without movement life is annihilated, within and without, for lack of dynamic cohesion. But the dynamism should be principally of the spirit, of the idea, it should be a moral dynamic ecstasy, dynamic in relation to progress, ecstatic in relation to permanence.
 * "Heroic Reason", as translated by H. R. Hays, in Selected Writings of Juan Ramon Jimenez (1957) edited by Eugenio Florit, p. 231.

 * Dynamic ecstasy is absolute romanticism, absolute heroism. And here I return to my point. From my point of view, after the catastrophe which we feel and think is universal, a catastrophe resulting from an excess of useless dynamism of useless progress, of useless realism, of useless technology, after this an unattainable democracy is to be reached through the conception and realization of a new romanticism.
 * "Heroic Reason", as translated by H. R. Hays, in Selected Writings of Juan Ramon Jimenez (1957) edited by Eugenio Florit, p. 231.

 * If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.
 * As quoted in the epigraph in Fahrenheit 451 (1953) by Ray Bradbury; Susie Salmon also uses this quote in The Lovely Bones, and Daniel Quinn published a book in 2007 with the title If They Give You Lined Paper, Write Sideways (2007)
 * Spanish: "Si os dan papel pautado, escribid por el otro lado" (If they give you lined paper, write on the other side)
 * Note: "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way" is often attributed to William Carlos Williams who was contemporary with JRJ.

I am this one walking beside me whom I do not see, whom at times I manage to visit, and whom at other times I forget; who remains calm and silent while I talk, and forgives, gently, when I hate, who walks where I am not, who will remain standing when I die.
 * I am not I.
 * "I am not I", from Lorca and Jiménez: Selected Poems, chosen and translated by Robert Bly (Boston: Beacon Press, 1973), p. 77

 * I have a feeling that my boat has struck, down there in the depths, against a great thing. And nothing happens! Nothing … Silence … Waves. — Nothing happens? Or Has everything happened, and we are standing now, quietly, in the new life?
 * "Oceans", as translated by Robert Bly; quoted in Opening Our Moral Eye : Essays, Talks & Poems Embracing Creativity & Community (1996) by Mary Caroline Richards.

Platero and I (1917)

 * Platero y yo (1917)

 * This short book, where joy and sadness are twins, like the ears of Platero, was written for … I have no idea for whom! … For whomever lyric poets write …
 * "A NOTE TO THOSE GROWNUPS WHO MIGHT READ THIS BOOK TO CHILDREN", as translated by Antonio T. de Nicolas (1985), p. xv.

 * Island of grace, of freshness and of joy, Golden Age of children; always I could find you in my life, a sea of mourning; let your breeze lend me its lyre high and sometimes senseless like the trill of the lark in the white sun of morning. I have never written nor will I ever write anything for children, because I believe the child can read the books that grownups read, with some few exceptions that come to everyone's mind. There are of course exceptions too for men and for women.
 * "A NOTE TO THOSE GROWNUPS WHO MIGHT READ THIS BOOK TO CHILDREN", as translated by Antonio T. de Nicolas (1985), p. xv.

 * Platero is a small donkey, a soft, hairy donkey: so soft to the touch that he might be said to be made of cotton, with no bones. Only the jet mirrors of his eyes are hard like two black crystal scarabs.
 * Ch. 1 : Platero, as translated by Eloïse Roach (1957).

 * He is as loving and tender as a child, but strong and sturdy as a rock. When on Sundays I ride him through the lanes in the outskirts of the town, slow-moving countrymen, dressed in their Sunday clean, watch him a while, speculatively: "He is like steel," they say. Steel, yes. Steel and moon silver at the same time.
 * Ch. 1 : Platero, as translated by Eloïse Roach (1957).

 * The man wants to stick his iron pick in the little basket, and I do not prevent him. I open the knapsack, and he sees nothing in it. And the food for the soul passes, candid and free, without paying tribute to the customs.
 * Ch. 2 : White Butterflies, as translated by Eloïse Roach (1957).

 * They should call the good man an ass! They should call the bad ass a man! ]]Ironically]] … to speak thus of you, so smart, friend of the old and the young, of the stream and the butterfly, of the sun and the dog, of the flower and the moon, patient and thoughtful, melancholic and lovable, the Marcus Aurelius of the fields…
 * Ch. 55: "Donkeyography" as translated by Antonio T. de Nicolas (1985), p. 66; also translated as "Assography" in translation by Eloïse Roach.

Quotes about

 * I had the very good luck to meet Juan Ramón Jiménez. He was living in Washington DC at that time, and told me he wanted to be my mentor. So I moved to Washington DC He and his wife were wonderful to me. They got me a part-time job at the Pan-American Union and I lived in the International Student House. I studied and worked and he was my mentor—one of the best things that ever happened to me. He chose the poems for my first book, Anillo de Silencio

Junius

Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of letters to the London Public Advertiser (published by Harry Sampson Woodfall) from January 21, 1769 to January 21, 1772.

Letters of Junius (1769-1772)

 * One precedent creates another. They soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was fact, today is doctrine.
 * Dedication to the English Nation (added the collection of letters published in 1772)

 * The liberty of the press is the palladium of all the civil, political, and religious rights of an Englishman.
 * Dedication to the English Nation (added the collection of letters published in 1772)

 * The submission of free people to the executive authority of government, is no more than a compliance with laws which they themselves have enacted.
 * No. 1 (21 January 1769)

 * Loyalty, in the heart and understanding of an Englishman, is a rational attachment to the guardian of the laws.
 * No. 1 (21 January 1769)

 * I believe there is yet a spirit of resistance in this country, which will not submit to be oppressed; but I am sure there is a fund of good sense in this country, which cannot be deceived.
 * No. 16 (19 July 1769)

 * We owe it to our ancestors to preserve entire those rights, which they have delivered to our care: we owe it to our posterity, not to suffer their dearest inheritance to be destroyed.
 * No. 20 (8 August 1769)

 * When the constitution is openly invaded, when the first original right of the people, from which all laws derive their authority, is directly attacked, inferior grievances naturally lose their force, and are suffered to pass by without punishment or observation.
 * No. 30 (17 October 1769)

 * There is a moment of difficulty and danger at which flattery and falsehood can no longer deceive, and simplicity itself can no longer be misled.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)
 * This letter is of great significance in the history of freedom of the press. The publisher was prosecuted for seditious libel, and the jury brought a verdict of "guilty of printing and publishing only." After a second trial, the publisher was freed on payment of costs.

 * They [the Americans] equally detest the pageantry of a king, and the supercilious hypocrisy of a bishop.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)

 * It is not then from the alienated affections of Ireland or America, that you [ George III ] can reasonably look for assistance; still less from the people of England, who are actually contending for their rights, and in this great question, are parties against you. You are not however, destitute of every appearance of support: you have all the Jacobites, Non-jurors, Roman Catholics, and Tories of this country, and all Scotland, without exception. Considering from what family you are descended, the choice of your friends has been singularly directed; and truly, Sir, if you had not lost the Whig interest of England, I should admire your dexterity in turning the hearts of your enemies.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)

 * When once a man is determined to believe, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms him in his faith.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)

 * There is a holy mistaken zeal in politics as well as in religion. By persuading others, we convince ourselves.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)

 * The people of England are loyal to the House of Hanover, not from a vain preference of one family to another, but from a conviction that the establishment of that family was necessary to the support of their civil and religious liberties. This, Sir, is a principle of allegiance equally solid and rational;—fit for Englishmen to adopt, and well worthy of your Majesty's encouragement. We cannot long be deluded by nominal distinctions. The name of Stuart, of itself, is only contemptible;—armed with the sovereign authority, their principles are formidable. The Prince, who imitates their conduct, should be warned by their example; and, while he plumes himself upon the security of his title to the crown, should remember that, as it was acquired by one revolution, it may be lost by another.
 * No. 35 (19 December 1769)

 * The least considerable man among us has an interest equal to the proudest nobleman, in the laws and constitution of his country, and is equally called upon to make a generous contribution in support of them — whether it be the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute.
 * No. 37 (19 March 1770)

 * We lament the mistakes of a good man, and do not begin to detest him until he affects to renounce his principles.
 * No. 41, to Lord Mansfield (14 November 1770)

 * The injustice done to an individual is sometimes of service to the public. Facts are apt to alarm us more than the most dangerous principles.
 * No. 41, to Lord Mansfield (14 November 1770)

 * I see through your whole life, one uniform plan to enlarge the power of the crown, at the expense of the liberty of the subject. To this object, your thoughts, words and actions have been constantly directed. In contempt or ignorance of the common law of England, you have made it your study to introduce into the court, where you preside, maxims of jurisprudence unknown to Englishmen. The Roman code, the law of nations, and the opinion of foreign civilians, are your perpetual theme;—but whoever heard you mention Magna Charta or the Bill of Rights with approbation or respect? By such treacherous arts, the noble simplicity and free spirit of our Saxon laws were first corrupted. The Norman conquest was not compleat, until Norman lawyers had introduced their laws, and reduced slavery to a system.—This one leading principle directs your interpretation of the laws, and accounts for your treatment of juries.
 * No. 41, to Lord Mansfield (14 November 1770)

 * An honest man, like the true religion, appeals to the understanding, or modestly confides in the internal evidence of his conscience. The imposter employes force instead of argument, imposes silence where he cannot convince, and propagates his character by the sword.
 * No. 41, to Lord Mansfield (14 November 1770)

 * The government of England is a government of law. We betray ourselves, we contradict the spirit of our laws, and we shake the whole system of English jurisprudence, whenever we entrust a discretionary power over the life, liberty, or fortune of the subject to any man, or set of men, whatsoever, upon a presumption that it will not be abused.
 * No. 46 (25 May 1771)

 * If individuals have no virtues, their vices may be of use to us.
 * No. 59 (5 October 1771)

 * The temple of fame is the shortest passage to riches and preferment.
 * No. 59 (5 October 1771)

Quotes about Junius

 * How comes this Junius to have broke through the cobwebs of the law, and to range uncontrolled, unpunished through the land? The myrmidons of the court have been long, and are still, pursuing him in vain. ... No sooner has he wounded one than he lays another dead at his feet. For my part, when I saw his attack upon the king, I own my blood ran cold. ... In short, after carrying away our royal eagle in his pounces, and dashing him against a rock, he has laid you prostrate. Kings, Lords, and Commons are but the sport of his fury. Were he a member of this House, what might not be expected from his knowledge, his firmness, and integrity? He would be easily known by his contempt of all danger, by his penetration, by his vigour. Nothing would escape his vigilance and activity. Bad ministers could conceal nothing from his sagacity; nor could promises or threats induce him to conceal any thing from the public.
 * Edmund Burke, speech in the House of Commons (27 November 1770), quoted in The Parliamentary History of England: Vol. XVI (Hansard, 1813), columns 1154–1155

 * He has sometimes sported with lucky malice; but to him that knows his company, it is not hard to be sarcastic in a mask. ... Junius burst into notice with a blaze of impudence which has rarely glared upon the world before, and drew the rabble after him as a monster makes a show. When he had once provided for his safety by impenetrable secrecy, he had nothing to combat but truth and justice, enemies whom he knows to be feeble in the dark. ... out of the reach of danger, he has been bold: out of the reach of shame, he has been confident. As a rhetorician, he has had the art of persuading when he seconded desire; as a reasoner, he has convinced those who had no doubt before; as a moralist, he has taught that virtue may disgrace; and as a patriot, he has gratified the mean by insults on the high. Finding sedition ascendant, he has been able to advance it; finding the nation combustible, he has been able to inflame.
 * Samuel Johnson, Thoughts on the late transactions respecting the Falkland's Islands (1771), quoted in The Works of Samuel Johnson, L.L.D.: Vol. IV (1825), pp. 315–316
