Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose ones government is not necessarily to secure freedom. – Friedrich August von Hayek

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca
