As we honor the life and work of George Washington, we look also at voices from history that informed, challenged and supported his life's work. This quote is from a series on Government.

“ men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. Secondly, those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest & safe, altho’ not the most wise depository of the public interests. In every country these two parties exist, and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write, they will declare themselves.”

- Thomas Jefferson

From a Series of Quotes on The Rights of Mankind & The Law of Nature:

“Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the author of nature, because (it is) necessary for his own sustenance.” - Thomas Jefferson

From a Series of Quotes on The Rights of Mankind & The Law of Nature:

“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.” - Samuel Adams

The New Covenant Promise:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: John 16:7,8
