But I do not remember ever having seen a newspaper in the house; and, most certainly, that privation did not render us less industrious, happy, or free.  (William Cobbett Quotes) It is not the greatness of a man’s means that makes him independent, so much as the smallness of his wants.  (William Cobbett Quotes) Dancing is at once rational and healthful: it gives animal spirits; it is the natural amusement of young people, and such it has been from the days of Moses.  (William Cobbett Quotes) A couple of flitches of bacon are worth fifty thousand Methodist sermons and religious tracts. They are great softeners of temper and promoters of domestic harmony  (William Cobbett Quotes) I view tea drinking as a destroyer of health, an enfeebler of the frame, an en-genderer of effeminancy and laziness, a debaucher of youth and maker of misery for old age.

They make common cause in behalf of the sex; and, indeed, this is natural enough, when we consider the vast power that the law gives us over them  (William Cobbett Quotes) From a very early age I had imbibed the opinion that it was every man’s duty to do all that lay in his power to leave his country as good as he had found it  (William Cobbett Quotes) It is not the greatness of a man’s means that makes him independent, so much as the smallness of his wants  (William Cobbett Quotes) A full belly to the labourer was, in my opinion, the foundation of public morals and the only source of real public peace  (William Cobbett Quotes) I was a countryman and a father before I was a writer on political subjects... Born and bred up in the sweet air myself, I was resolved that should be bred up in it too  (William Cobbett Quotes) As to the power which money gives, it is that of brute force, it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet, and of the bribed press, tongue and pen  (William Cobbett Quotes) It is by attempting to reach the top in a single leap that so much misery is produced in the world  (William Cobbett Quotes) The power which money gives is that of brute force; it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet  (William Cobbett Quotes) The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor  (William Cobbett Quotes) The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people. have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks, that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty  (William Cobbett Quotes) It is by attempting to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is caused in the world  (William Cobbett Quotes)
