Wisdom Quotes from founding father, George Mason The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth. George Mason, founding father That Religion, or the Duty which we owe to our divine and omnipotent Creator, and the Manner of discharging it, can be governed only by Reason and Conviction, not by Force or Violence; and therefore, that all Men shou'd enjoy the fullest Toleration in the Exercise of Religion, according to the Dictates under Colour of Religion, any Man disturb the Peace, the happiness, or Safety of Society, or of Individuals And that it is the mutual Duty of all, to practice Christian Forebearance, Love, and Charity, towards Each other. George Mason, founding father Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judement of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities. George Mason, founding father We owe to our Mother-Country the Duty of Subjects but will not pay her the Submission of Slaves. George Mason, founding father That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot by any compact deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. George Mason, founding father [W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually…I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers. But I cannot say who will be the militia of the future day. If that paper on the table gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor. George Mason, founding father
