Nowhere, in a democratic country, one can think of doing politics by defending their points of view with weapons.

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

A functioning police state needs no police.

This democracy run by this government which is a liberated country, but nothing has changed.

No foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.

In politics, nothing is contemptible.

No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.

Our country has liberty without license, and authority without despotism. She rears no wall to exclude the stranger from coming among us. She has few frowning fortifications to repel the invader, for she is at peace with all the world.

There are no institutions – only the people rule this country.

In politics nothing is contemptible.

A self-supporting and self-respecting democracy can plead no justification for the existence of child labor, no economic reason for chiseling workers' wages or stretching workers' hours.

No human being is illegal.

The Congo Free State is unique in its kind. It has nothing to hide and no secrets and is not beholden to anyone except its founder.
