London owes everything to its press: it owes as much to its press as it does to its being the seat of government and the law.

Speech at the Printing Trade Festival (1845)

The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy. It was not granted by monarchs, it was not gained for us by aristocracies ; but it sprang from the people, and, with an immortal instinct, it has always worked for the people.
