I Consider Biennial Elections As A Security That The Sober, Second Thought Of The People Shall Be Law.

The Happiness Of A People, And The Good Order And Preservation Of Civil Government, Essentially Depend On Piety, Religion, And Morality.

Liberty Has Never Lasted Long In A Democracy, Nor Has It Ever Ended In Anything Better Than Despotism.

We Are Not To Consider Ourselves, While Here, As At Church Or School, To Listen To The Harangues Of Speculative Piety; We Are Here To Talk Of The Political Interests Committed To Our Charge.

I Consider Biennial Elections As A Security That The Sober, Second Thought Of The People Shall Be Law.
