A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
Daniel Webster
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.
John Donne
Between understanding and faith immediate connections must subsist.
Marquis de Sade
But a multitude of people, even the two hundred million of the Chinese empire, cannot subsist without civil government.
Ezra Stiles
If vice and corruption prevail, liberty cannot subsist; but if virtue have the advantage, arbitrary power cannot be established.
Algernon Sidney
Liberty is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is liberty to that which is good, just, and honest.
John Winthrop
Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.
Samuel Johnson
Man, in his animal capacity, is qualified to subsist in every climate.
Adam Ferguson
Nor in truth, can Forreign Trade subsist without the Home Trade, both being connected together.
Dudley North
The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty subsist without some lawful recreation.
Miguel De Cervantes
The buffalo is all gone, and an Indian can't catch enough jack rabbits to subsist himself and his family, and then, there aren't enough jack rabbits to catch. What are they to do?
George Crook
Thus the creation, which seems an arbitrary act, supposes laws as invariable as those of the fatality of the Atheists. It would be absurd to say that the Creator might govern the world without those rules, since without them it could not subsist.
Charles de Secondat
