I don't have short quotes...

"Power is always gradually stealing away from the many to the few, because the few are more vigilant and consistent; it still contracts to a smaller number, till in time it centers in a single person.

Samuel Johnson: Adventurer #45 (March 27, 1753)

In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so (morally) corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”
Benjamin Franklin: Letter on the faults of the Constitution, 1787?
