And makes mere sots of magistrates;
The fumes of it invade the brain,
And make men giddy, proud and vain.
" - Samuel Butler

"[Morality and ethics: short-term indulgent gratification versus long-term accumulating success:] A principle is an approach you stick with even if you know it might lead to a short-term outcome you don't prefer. Especially then. It's this gap between the short-term and the long-term that makes a principle valuable. If your guiding principle is to do whatever benefits you right now, you don't have principles of much value." - Seth Godin

"[Small, limited government versus big, limitless, ever-power-hungry, government:] I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution.

I now deny their power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender. I know that to pay all proper expenses within the year, would, in case of war, be hard on us.
