The Downfall Of Republics

"Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, andintelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banishedfrom the public councils, because they dare to be honest, andthe profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people,in order to betray them."
-- Justice Joseph Story (1779-1845) US Supreme Court Justice
1833
