Benjamin Rush
A simple democracy is the devil's own government.
Benjamin Rush

If nothing else certainly, a human figure?
Benjamin Rush
The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Benjamin Rush
The only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government is the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible.
