"Human
nature itself is evermore an advocate for liberty. There is also in
human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong. A
love of truth and a veneration of virtue. These amiable passions, are
the 'latent spark'... If the people are capable of understanding, seeing
and feeling the differences between true and false, right and wrong,
virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind
apply than to the sense of this difference?" --John Adams, the
Novanglus, 1775
