We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as long as we remain honest -- which will be as long as we can keep the attention of our people alive. If they once become inattentive to public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors would all become wolves.
-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third US president, architect and author, in a letter to Edward Carrington
