I am Benjamin Rush for the duration of this Honors Perspectives I class. This blog is about everything Benjamin Rush, in an attempt to write what he would feel about certain circumstances from his perspective using the information I have collected.
Feel free to make suggestions on how to make this blog better or give me more info to base reactions off!
What Do I Say
“I am pursuing Truth, and am indifferent whither I am led, if she is my only leader.”
Benjamin Rush
“Temperate, sincere, and intelligent inquiry and discussion are only to be dreaded by the advocates of error. The truth need not fear them.”
Benjamin Rush
“Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.”
Benjamin Rush
“The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without it there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object of all republican governments.”
Benjamin Rush
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.”
Benjamin Rush
“The American war is over; but this far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government, and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens for these forms of government after they are established and brought to perfection.”
