- "When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."
- "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church."
- "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
- "It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."
