"Let the American youth never forget, that they
possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of
their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of
transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life,
the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence."
--Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
