No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”

If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor.”
