Without Virtue There Can Be No Liberty

I Do Not Believe That The Constitution Was The Offspring Of Inspiration, But I Am As Satisfied That It Is As Much The Work Of A Divine Providence As Any Of The Miracles Recorded In The Old And New Testament.

Patriotism Is As Much A Virtue As Justice, And Is As Necessary For The Support Of Societies As Natural Affection Is For The Support Of Families.

This Virtue We Find Constitutes A Part Of The First Characters Of History.
