"When John Quincy Adams called Madison “the father of the Constitution,“ he was not only paying tribute to what Madison accomplished in Philadelphia but also recognizing his achievements in the months afterward. Crucial as Madison was to the creation of the Constitution, he was at least equally important to seeing that it went into effect." — Apr 13, 2026 01:26PM

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
