That No Free Government, Nor The Blessings Of Liberty, Can Be Preserved To Any People, But By A Firm Adherence To Justice, Moderation, Temperance, Frugality, And Virtue; By Frequent Recurrence To Fundamental Principles; And By The Recognition By All Citizens That They Have Duties As Well As Rights, And That Such Rights Cannot Be Enjoyed Save In A Society Where Law Is Respected And Due Process Is Observed.
