James Otis quotes
" A man is accountable to no person for his doings. "

James Otis
" A man's house is his castle; and whilst he is quiet, he is as well guarded as a prince in his castle. "

James Otis
" A man's house is his castle. "

James Otis
" But I think I can sincerely declare that I cheerfully submit myself to every odious name for conscience' sake; and from my soul I despise all those whose guilt, malice, or folly has made them my foes. "

James Otis
" Every man may reign secure in his petty tyranny, and spread terror and desolation around him, until the trump of the Archangel shall excite different emotions in his soul. "

James Otis
" Every one with this writ may be a tyrant; if this commission be legal, a tyrant in a legal manner, also, may control, imprison, or murder any one within the realm. "

James Otis
" I do not say that, when brought to the test, I shall be invincible. "

James Otis
" I have accordingly considered it, and now appear not only in obedience to your order, but likewise in behalf of the inhabitants of this town, who have presented another petition, and out of regard to the liberties of the subject. "

James Otis
" I pray God I may never be brought to the melancholy trial; but, if ever I should, it will then be known how far I can reduce to practice principles which I know to be founded in truth. "

James Otis
" I say I admit that special Writs of Assistance, to search special places, may be granted to certain persons on oath; but I deny that the writ now prayed for can be granted, for I beg leave to make some observations on the writ itself, before I proceed to other Acts of Parliament. "

James Otis
" I was solicited to argue this cause as Advocate-General; and, because I would not, I have been charged with desertion from my office. "

James Otis
" I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writ of Assistance is. "

James Otis
" If we are not represented, we are slaves. "

James Otis
" In the third place, a person with this writ, in the daytime, may enter all houses, shops, etc., at will, and command all to assist him. "

James Otis
" It is a clear truth that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own. "
