I found this quote from one a novel of one of my favorite authors. I sincerely believe if we, the American people, upheld these ideas we would have a more effective government versus our current inept, corrupt system in place today.

"The deadliest enemies of nations are not their foreign foes; they always dwell within their borders. And from these internal enemies civilization is always in need of being saved. The nation blessed above all nations is she in whom the civic genius of the people does the saving day by day, by acts without external picturesqueness; by speaking, writing, voting reasonably; by smiting corruption swiftly, by good temper between parties; by the people knowing true men when they see them,, and preferring them as leaders to rabid partisans or empty quacks. -William James"
