One can find all kinds of slogans for bumper stickers and t-shirts in the writings of great men. But it proves nothing. One has to go to the source and read the context to understand what was really meant. Then place it within the broader context of the writer's life work.
The "gotcha" game of selective quotation is tedious and destructive.

The American Colonist's Library - A Treasury of Primary Documents

Primary Source Documents Pertaining to Early American History An invaluable collection of historical works which contributed to the formation of American politics, culture, and ideals -- a massive collection of the literature and documents which were most relevant to the colonists' lives in America. If it isn't here, it probably is not available online anywhere.
