John Adams
-
Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.
-
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
-
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
-
The happiness of society is the end of government.
-
A government of laws, and not of men.
