“The equal rights of man, and the happiness of every individual, are now acknowledged to be the only legitimate objects of government.”
― Letters of Thomas Jefferson

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”
