Founding Fathers Quotes

As our president bears no resemblance to a king so we shall see the Senate has no similitude to nobles. First, not being
hereditary, their collective knowledge, wisdom, and virtue are not precarious. For by these qualities alone are they to obtain
their offices, and they will have none of the peculiar qualities and vices of those men who possess power merely because their
father held it before them.

libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans
themselves. --Albert Einstein
