“რატომ არ უნდა ღმერთს, რომ საკურთხეველზე რძე დაუსხურონ - ყოფიერების ნამდვილი წვენი, - წვენი, რომელიც მიწის ერთი ბინადრიდან მეორეში გადაიღვრება; ანდა რატომ არ შეიძლება, საკურთხეველზე, როგორც ხნულში, მოუბნიო პეშვით ხორბალი, რისგანაც მერე არსობის პური გამოცხვება?”

“Individualists and collectivists both have been wronged by the government, and we all maintain (consciously or subconsciously) a list of the ways our lives have been diminished by its bureaucracies and actions. One of the differences between the collectivists and the individualists is that those wrongs are front and center for the individualists, whereas the collectivists are blind to those wrongs, or they excuse those wrongs, or they forgive those wrongs. "Use us," the collectivists say, while they throw not only themselves into the bottomless pit that is the Administrative State, but everybody else too.”

“They have concluded that it is their duty to rush forward on their journey no matter what the weather; I, on the other hand, am for waiting for favourable wind and current. They are for risking all for God at the snap of a finger; I am for taking advantage of every opportunity to secure my life and estate. They are for holding to their ideas even though all the world would be against them; I, however, am for religion insofar as the times, conditions, and my safety allow it. They are for religion when walking in rags and abuse; I am for it when it walks in silver slippers, in sunshine, and with applause.”
