“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

― C. S. Lewis

― Thomas Jefferson

“Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.”
― Karl Marx
