Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life. (Address to Congress on Resigning Commission Dec 23, 1783)

With the people, especially a people seized of property, resides the aggregate of original power.

It's an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe's supreme achievement and its worst nightmare simultaneously.
