“That no free government or the blessing of liberty can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice moderation temperance frugality and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles”
— George Mason
Simplified Meaning:
A free government and the benefits of freedom can only last if people consistently stick to being fair, moderate, self-controlled, careful with resources, and morally good, while also regularly reminding themselves of basic important rules.
