«Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.»

For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.»
