This is one of my favorite Founders quotes as it is profoundly wise. I see many curse those in government for their corruptness but this course of action is indicative that these very people are one of the causes of this very corruption (2 Peter 2:10). "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." ~ John Adams, Letter to the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts (October 11, 1798)
