If the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow
..These considerations should lead to an attentive solitude
to be religiously careful in our choice of all public officers
. and judge of the tree by its fruits. Elias Boudinot - Patriot

As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible: avoiding occasions of expence by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it; avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expence, but by vigorous exertions in time of Peace to discharge the Debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen which we ourselves ought to bear.
