Break up the printing presses and you break up rebellion.

You can make children believe whatever you want, and the children of today are the soldiers and mothers of tomorrow.

My religion is no garment to be put on and off with the weather. You had better know that, all of you. I shall worship as I please and hope for all men to worship as they please in Scotland.

I'm at a stage in my life when I want a wife and a family.
