Founders' Daily Quote: 9 July 2008

"The pyramid of government-and a republican government may well receive that beautiful and solid form-should be raised to a dignified altitude: but its foundations must, of consequence, be broad, and strong, and deep. The authority, the interests, and the affections of the people at large are the only foundation, on which a superstructure proposed to be at once durable and magnificent, can be rationally erected."

--James Wilson; Reference: The Works of James Wilson, McCloskey, ed., 403.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can.
