Our Great Security

A quote which I discovered only today, and which has tremendous importance and applicability to our current social and political situation.

“A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.”   (Samuel Adams)


Now go forth, and practice VIRTUE.
