Famous Quote from Albert Jay Nock,


"Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship,
the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics:
You get the same order of criminality from any State
to which you give power to exercise it;
and whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you
carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you."
