Could I Be Assured That America Would

But There Are Some Persons Who Wouldpersuade The People Never To Make Use Of Their Constitutional Rights.

Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings Than By Reason.

If Men Of Wisdom And Knowledge, Of Moderation And Temperance, Of Patience, Fortitude And Perseverance, Of Sobriety And True Republican Simplicity Of Manners, Of Zeal For The Honour Of The Supreme Being And The Welfare Of The Commonwealth; If Men Possessed Of These Other Excellent Qualities Are Chosen To Fill The Seats Of Government, We May Expect That Our Affairs Will Rest On A Solid And Permanent Foundation.

Let Divines And Philosophers, Statesmen And Patriots, Unite Their Endeavors To Renovate The Age By Impressing The Minds Of Men With The Importance Of Educating Their Little Boys And Girls, Inculcating In The Minds Of Youth The Fear And Love Of The Deity... And Leading Them In The Study And Practice Of The Exalted Virtues Of The Christian System.

Shame On The Men Who Can Court Exemption From Present Trouble And Expense At The Price Of Their Own Posterity's Liberty!
