“The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden-that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time.” MenHumansBookStatesMomentsHelpingLawReadingGamesHuman BeingsRoomsFireWifeCoupleProtectHusbandWasteOrdinaryEconomicsGardenIncreaseArmyPoliceCourtThis LifeEtcWasting TimeParliamentDiggingHusband And WifePubsChattingDarts Book:Mere Christianity Source: Mere Christianity

“Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned lark,--open the door, and it is off forever. The bird that roams through the sky and the groves unrestrained knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself; but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture.” KnowsMomentsBehindsKnow HowForeverDoorsSkyProtectBirdBarsInnocenceBoltsHawksGroveCagedDodgeLarksVulture Author:Thomas Chandler Haliburton
