Founding Fathers

“That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves. “ T. Jefferson

“I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?” B. Franklin

“It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand.” J. Adams

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” B. Franklin
