Creative Quotations from James Madison

(1751-1836) born on Mar 16 4th US president, political theorist; influential in framing the Constitution and Bill of

Rights

It is universally admitted that a

well-instructed people alone can be

permanently a free people.

What is government itself but the

greatest of all reflections

on human nature?

If men were angels,

no government would be

necessary.

It will be of little avail… if the laws be so

voluminous that they cannot be read,

or so incoherent that they

cannot be understood…

All men having power ought to be distrusted

to a certain degree.
