More quotes by James Madison

James Madison
The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself.

Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any Manner contrary to their conscience.
James Madison
Our opinions agree as to the evil, moral, political, and economical, of slavery.
James Madison
There is not a shadow of right in the general government to intermingle with religion. Its least interference with it would be a most flagrant usurpation.
James Madison
The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man.
James Madison
A victorious and powerful ally is but another name for a master.
