James Madison Quote

Quote from James Madison,

"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be,
first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern,
and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society;
and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for
keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust."
