“That humanity and sincerity which dispose men to resist injustice and tyranny render them unfit to cope with the cunning and power of those who are opposed to them. The friends of liberty trust to the professions of others because they are themselves sincere, and endeavour to secure the public good with the least possible hurt to its enemies, who have no regard to anything but their own unprincipled ends, and stick at nothing to accomplish them.” MenEndsHumanityHurtLibertyEnemyRegardSticksInjusticeAccomplishProfessionTyrannySecureSincereSincerityCunningEndeavourPublic Good Book:Characters of Shakespeare's Plays Source: Characters of Shakespeare's Plays

“State authority can never be an end in itself; for, if that were so, any kind of tyranny would be inviolable and sacred.

“Free people can treat each other justly, but they can't make life fair. To get rid of the unfairness among individuals, you have to exercise power over them. The more fairness you want, the more power you need. Thus, all dreams of fairness become dreams of tyranny in the end.” PeopleWantNeedsEndsDreamIndividualExerciseFairsTreatsTyrannyFairnessUnfairness Author:Andrew Klavan
