Edward Everett Quotes:
Ocupation: Former U.S. Senator
Life: April 11, 1794 - January 15, 1865
Birthday: April 11
Death: January 15
Beneath a free government there is nothing but the intelligence of the people to keep the people's peace. Order must be preserved, not by a military police or regiments of horse-guards, but by the spontaneous concert of a well-informed population, resolved that the rights which have been rescued from despotism shall not be subverted by anarchy.
