“Society will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. It does not tyrannise but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly."
- Abraham Lincoln
"No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it"
- Theodore Roosevelt
