Lysander Spooner Quote

Quote from Lysander Spooner,

"The principle that the majority have a right to rule the minority,
practically resolves all government into a mere contest between two bodies of men,
as to which of them shall be masters, and which of them slaves;
a contest, that -- however bloody -- can, in the nature of things,
never be finally closed, so long as man refuses to be a slave."
