Tozer for Tuesday

When people were discussing politics and the right form of government in front of the famous Dr. Samuel Johnson, he cleared his throat and began with those famous words, “Sir, I perceive that it matters little what form of government prevails in a country, the people will be happy if only the rulers be righteous men.” That is worthy to be written down in the halls of Congress and everywhere else throughout the world. The people will be happy if our leaders are righteous men. But they are not all righteous men, because they are humans and subject to temptation the same as everybody else.—A.W. Tozer, Living as a Christian, 144
