 It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism. Andrew Jackson

Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Thomas Paine
