Quotes by Ralph Louis Ketcham (?)

“Whenever a clamor is raised, and idle men get to work, it is highly necessary to examine facts carefully, and without unreasonably suspecting men of falshood, to examine, and enquire attentively, under what impressions they act.”
― Ralph Louis Ketcham, The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates

“It is too often the case in political concerns, that men state facts not as they are, but as they wish them to be; and almost every man, by calling to mind past scenes, will find this to be true.”
― Ralph Louis Ketcham, The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates

“The fickle and ardent, in any community, are the proper tools for establishing despotic government. But it is deliberate and thinking men, who must establish and secure governments on free principles.”
