“Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” - Ps. 109:8
Or, as a friend said, “I see some Christian friends exhorting us to pray for our new President. I agree, and I recommend praying Psalms 5, 35, 83, and 94.”
**************
“Because the [Roman] people were virtuous they were magnanimous. Because they were free, they scorned power.
But when they had lost their principles, the more power they had, the less carefully they managed it, until finally, having become their own tyrant and their own slave, they lost the strength of liberty and fell into the weakness of license.”
Montesquieu, “The Spirit of the Laws” (1748)
