A Little Book of Revolutionary Quotes

Power corrupted individuals with a base nature fast, leading them to embrace all kinds of vices. The only means to counteract vice was through virtuous people who were willing to fight with valor against the horrors of a corrupt government. The Founding Generation was always suspicious of too much power in the hands of the unvirtuous. Through their words, they communicated the importance of virtue over vice and continue to remind us that a nation run by people who lack virtue is a nation in name only. Quotes from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and more.
