"We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principals of the Ten Commandments of God."
"We are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone”
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."
