“…And
the people were restrained from bringing [any more], for the material
they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too much.”
Exodus 36:6–7
Quotes of Presidents
“Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and
character increase as the importance of the position increases.” John
Adams
"Nor
is there liberty if the power of JUDGING is not separated from
legislative power and from executive power. If it were joined to
legislative power, the power over life and liberty of the citizens would
be arbitrary, for the JUDGE would be the legislator. If it were joined
to executive power, the JUDGE could have the force of an oppressor.
ALL WOULD BE LOST if the same...body of principal men...exercised these
three powers." Baron Montesquieu, the most quoted writer by the
Framers of the Constitution
