Additional quotes by John Holt

He whose dirt it is must keep it that it may not trespass.

Libelling against a private man is a moral offence; but when it is against a government, it tends to the destruction of it.

We ought, as far as we can by law, to support the government of all societies and corporations, especially this of the city of London; and if the mayor and aldermen should not have power to punish offenders in a summary way, then farewell the government of the city.

We must not be frighted when a matter of property comes before us by saying it belongs to the Parliament; we must exert the Queen's jurisdiction. - John Holt
