We The People – Quotations

“…a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” – Thomas Jefferson

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” – Patrick Henry

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” – George Washington

“You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe” – John Adams

Dobee’s Law of Prime Numbers

Dobee’s Law of Prime Numbers: Add two to the number of whole integers contained in any number, and you get the next prime number.

Note that this requires some new thinking. Mathematicians generally think of an 11 being bigger than a one, but they are really both the same thing, integers of the same size.

To get the next prime after ten for example, you count the number of whole integers contained in ten. There are 10 ones, 5 twos, 3 threes, 2 fours, 2 fives, 1 six, 1 seven, 1 eight, 1 nine and 1 ten for a total of 27 whole integers.

To get the next prime number, find the number that contains 29 whole integers. [Hint: It's 11.]
