When, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor.

Countries which enjoy the highest level of peace, happiness and prosperity are the ones where the law least interfered with private affairs.

The people who, during the election, were so wise, so moral, so perfect, now have no tendencies whatever; or if they have any, they are tendencies that lead downward to degradation. . . .
