“But should the people of America once become capable of that deep
simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which
assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing
iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner
the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is
rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable
habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power
capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and
religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the
strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our
Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams
11 October 1798
A Letter to the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of
the Militia of Massachusetts
