Governors have no right to seek and take what they please; by this, instead of being content with the station assigned them, that of honorable servants of the society, they would soon become absolute masters, despots, and tyrants.
• 2
[Abraham Lincoln (fictional depiction):] Watch out for the leaders. First the leaders and the led, then the tyrants and the slaves, then the massacres. That's how it's always gone.

[Anonymous Member of the Parliament of Nova Scotia] Government is considered not as the parental Protector of the Rights of Individual as needed and faithful Steward of the Public Property: But rather as a Junta of cunning and wicked Men, whose Views extend no further than their own private Emolument, and who further the Distresses of the Community in order to promote a slavish Dependence on themselves.
...it is not to be wondered at, that the real Good of the Province has never been attended to.

[Anonymous Chinese Anarchist, writing in 1923] ...and when the struggle is over, they use the educated to devise a set of laws to bind the people, and train police and soldiers to massacre them. Ah! Power, power!

If Cromwell said, "That a man never mounts higher, than when he knows not whither he is going;" it may with more reason be affirmed of communities, that they admit of the greatest revolutions where no change is intended, and that the most refined politicians do not always know whither they are leading the state by their projects.
• 10
It has cost mankind much time and blood to secure what little it has gained so far from kings, czars and governments.
• 11
I did not question the prevailing standards, because so far as I could see there were no others. How could the rich, the strong, the elegant, the fashionable, the powerful, be in the wrong? It was their world, and the rules they made for it must be the right ones.
• 12
The man in question, even if he has enslaved half the world, is still only an individual; his interest, apart from that of others, is still a purely private interest. If this same man comes to die, his empire, after him, remains scattered and without unity, as an oak falls and dissolves into a heap of ashes when the fire has consumed it.
