Thomas Erskine Quote

“When men can freely communicate their thoughts and their sufferings, real or imagined, their passions spend themselves in air, like gunpowder scattered upon the surface – but pent up by terrors, they work unseen, burst forth in a moment, and destroy everything in its course. Let reason be opposed to reason, and argument to argument, and every good government will be safe.”

Thomas Erskine

I like it a lot within the scope of its focus. Because the process described by the quote has its limiting and carnal basis in man's god like ability to create natural law, I only rated it with 3 stars.
