Governments, like Clocks, go from the motion Men give them; and as Governments are made and moved by Men, so by them
they are ruined too. Wherefore Governments rather depend upon Men than Men upon Governments. Let MEN be good and the
Government cannot be bad. If it be ill, they will cure it. But if Men be bad, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn.
