Joseph Howe quotes
" I entreat you to believe that no ostentatious desire for display has induced me to undertake the labour and responsibility of this defence. "

Joseph Howe
" My books are very few, but then the world is before me - a library open to all - from which poverty of purse cannot exclude me - in which the meanest and most paltry volume is sure to furnish something to amuse, if not to instruct and improve. "

Joseph Howe
" My public life is before you; and I know you will believe me when I say, that when I sit down in solitude to the labours of my profession, the only questions I ask myself are, What is right ? What is just? What is for the public good? "

Joseph Howe
" Such a prostitution of judicial power can never occur again under the shadow of the British law, for no jury within the wide circle of the empire would submit to such an infraction of their privilege, even if a judge could be found daring enough to attempt it. "

Joseph Howe
" They have shrunk from inquiry, though they have strained after punishment. I have in every shape dared the one, that I might, so far as lay in my power, be able to secure the other. "

Joseph Howe
" Those who know me best well know that I would rather give the little leisure that a laborious life affords to my books and my fireside, rather than to those bickerings and disputes by which it is divided, and by which man is too often, without sufficient cause, set in array against his fellow-man. "

Joseph Howe
" We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations. "

Joseph Howe
" Will you permit the sacred fire of liberty, brought by your fathers from the venerable temples of Britain, to be quenched and trodden out on the simple altars they have raised? "

Joseph Howe
" Will you, my countrymen, the descendants of these men, warmed by their blood, inheriting their language, and having the principles for which they struggled confided to your care, allow them to be violated in your hands? "

Joseph Howe
