James Otis Quotes
American - Lawyer February 5, 1725 - May 23, 1783

Taxation without representation is tyranny.
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.
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

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

One always associates Walt Whitman immediately with poetry and nothing else, so his quotes come as a welcome surprise. Another thing with struck me in his second quote, is how the meaning of a word can change over time. Odorous now is usual negative, when he means the opposite.
