“What, then, do they want a government for? Not to regulate commerce; not to educate the people; not to teach religion, not to administer charity; not to make roads and railways; but simply to defend the natural rights of man -- to protect person and property -- to prevent the aggressions of the powerful upon the weak -- in a word, to administer justice. This is the natural, the original, office of a government. It was not intended to do less: it ought not to be allowed to do more.” PeopleMenWantPersonsGovernmentNaturalJusticePowerfulTeachRightsOughtProtectOfficeWeakOriginalsPropertyCharityEducateAggressionCommerceRailwayE CommerceNatural Rights Book:The Man versus the State: Great Essays Source: The Man versus the State: Great Essays

“The maxims of Christian life, which should draw upon the truths of the Gospel, are always partially symbolic of the mind and temperament of those who teach them to us.
