[F]or avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy . . . the only ground of hope must be on the morals of the people.

Morals are taught & preached not for the sake of heaven, but to assist those people on earth who have everything they need & more to retain their possessions & to help them to accumulate still more. Morals is the butter for those who have no bread.
