It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in it [the Constitution] a finger of that Almighty hand
which has been so frequently and signally extended to our relief in the critical stages of the revolution.
James Madison
1788 - Federalist No. 37
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
Patrick Henry
1778 - Virginia Ratifying Convention
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.
John Adams
1775 - letter to Abigail Adams
One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one's house. A man's house is his castle.
James Otis
1761 - on the Writs of Assistance
Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.
Samuel Adams
1775 - letter to James Warren
Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
Thomas Jefferson
1821 - Autobiography
It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.
George Washington
1789 - Thanksgiving proclamation
Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness.
James Wilson
1790 - Of the Study of the Law in the United States
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
1789 - letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.
Thomas Paine
1777 - The Crisis, no. 4
