Quote #17 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Anarchism and Freedom
“I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”
Source: "Civil Disobedience," by Henry David Thoreau, 1849.
