—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“... the happiness of a people is the only rational object of government, and the only object for which a people, free to choose, can have a government at all.”

“The government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought- free, fancy-free, imagination-free ... unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
