The Deterioration Of Every Government Begins With

Mediocrity Is A Hand-rail.

I Shall Ever Repeat It, That Mankind Are Governed Not By Extremes, But By Principals Of Moderation.

Power Should Be A Check On Power.

It Is Clear That In A Monarchy, Where He Who Commands The Exceution Of The Laws Generally Thinks Himself Above Them, There Is Lessneed Of Virtue Than In A Popular Government, Where The Person Entrusted With The Execution Of The Laws Is Sensible Of His Being Subject To Their Direction.

Democracy Is Corrupted Not Only When The Spirit Of Equality Is Corrupted, But Likewise When They Fall Into A Spirit Of Extreme Equality.
