Constitution Week

This week marks the 222nd anniversary of our Constitution.

Here are some quotes to commemorate it.


If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Thomas Jefferson

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Thomas Jefferson

Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.
John Adams

The essence of a free government consists in an effectual control of rivalries. John Adams

We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. John Adams
