Words To Live By, And Words To Ponder EVERYDAY Of Our Lives (It Is Probably Too Late For America)!
"Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics. There must be a positive passion for the public good, the public interest, honour, power and glory, established in the minds of the people, or there can be no republican government, nor any real liberty: and this public passion must be superiour to all private passions."
-- John Adams, letter to Mercy Warren, 1776
