Political revolutions aim to change political institutions in ways that those institutions themselves prohibit. their success therefore necessitates the partial relinquishment of one set of institutions in favor of another, and in the interim, society is not fully governed by institutions at all

It is said that brother joseph in his lifetime declared that the elders of this church should step forth at a particular time when the constitution should be in danger, and rescue it, and save it. this may be so; but i do not recollect that he said exactly so. i believe he [joseph] said something like this - that the time would come when the constitution and the country would be in danger of an overthrow; and said he, if the constitution be saved at all, it will be by the elders of this church. i believe this is about the language, as nearly as i can recollect it.

Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!

These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of america. what they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. our allegiance to american institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. in vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the constitution. in their blindness they forget what the flag and the constitution stand for.
