The town of GUILDFORD, which (taken with its environs) I, who have seen so many, many towns, think the prettiest, and, taken all together, the most agreeable and most happy-looking, that I ever saw in my life.More William Cobbett quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

The power which money gives is that of brute force; it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet.More William Cobbett quotes [10/01/2011 12:10:35]

I set out as a sort of self-dependent politician. My opinions were my own. I dashed at all prejudices. I scorned to follow anybodyin matter of opinion.... All were, therefore, offended at my presumption, as they deemed it.More William Cobbett quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

You may twist the word freedom as long as you please, but at last it comes to quiet enjoyment of your own property, or it comes to nothing. Why do men want any of those things that are called political rights and privileges? Why do they, for instance, want to vote at elections for members of parliament? Oh! Because they shall then have an influence over the conduct of those members. And of what use is that? Oh! Then they will prevent the members from doing wrong.More William Cobbett quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
