"....Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by
the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way...." - On the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau [1849, original title: Resistance to Civil Government] -- I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. - Thomas Jefferson |
