"Que ningún gobierno libre ni la bendición de la libertad pueden ser preservados para ningún pueblo sino por una firme adherencia a la justicia moderación templanza frugalidad y virtud y por una frecuente recurrencia a los principios fundamentales"
— George Mason

Simplified Meaning:
To keep a free government and enjoy the benefits of freedom, people must stick to principles like justice, moderation, self-control, being wise with money, and having good morals. Imagine a neighborhood where everyone treats each other fairly, doesn't overindulge, saves resources, and acts with integrity. This neighborhood stays safe, happy, and peaceful because everyone follows these important values. If people forget these values, things could fall apart. For example, if a community stops caring about fairness and honesty, trust breaks down, and chaos can take over. To make sure freedom lasts, people need to regularly remind themselves of these key principles and act on them.
