—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
