The foundation of our national policy will be laid on the solid basis of the people's will.
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
Each citizen must contribute to the common defense, which is the foundation of our security.
The nation that expects to be ignorant and free, expects what never was and never will be.
