Quote #39 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and The State
“When many millions of men, without heat, without ill will, without personal feelings of any kind, demand of you a few shillings only, without the possibility, such is their constitution, of retracting or altering their present demand, and without the possibility, on your side, of appeal to any other millions, why expose yourself to this overwhelming brute force?”
Source: "Civil Disobedience," by Henry David Thoreau, 1849.
