Intervene

If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a "liberal". If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a "conservative". If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a "moderate". If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an "extremist".
--Joseph Sobran

Ours

"... ours is a sick profession marked by incompetence, lack of training, misconduct and bad manners. Ineptness, bungling, malpractice, and bad ethics can be observed in court houses all over this country every day ... these incompetents have a seeming unawareness of the fundamental ethics of the profession. ... the harsh truth is that ... we may well be on our way to a society, overrun by hordes of lawyers, hungry as locusts, and brigades of judges in numbers never before contemplated."
--Justice Warren E. Burger
Chief Justice, U. S. Supreme Court

Order II

Order derived through submission and maintained by terror is not much of a safe guaranty; yet that is the only "order" that governments have ever maintained.  True social harmony grows naturally out of solidarity of interests.  In a society where those who always work never have anything, while those who never work enjoy everything, solidarity of interests is non-existent; hence social harmony is but a myth.... Thus the entire arsenal of governments - laws, police, soldiers, the courts, legislatures, prisons - is strenuously engaged in "harmonizing" the most antagonistic elements in society.
--Emma Goldman, "Anarchism"

Invisible

"An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support."

Politeness

--Dean Ornish, MD

Narrow

"The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits."

--Michael Moriarty (1941)
American-Canadian stage and screen actor, jazz musician

Without

"Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers; for their education is but the mere breaking in of the steer to the yoke; the mere discipline of the hunting dog, which, by dint of severity, is made to forego the strongest impulse of his nature, and instead of devouring his prey, to hasten with it to the feet of his master."
--Thomas Hodgskin

--George Orwell (1903-1950) [Eric Arthur Blair] English novelist

Aim III

"Governments, whatever their pretensions otherwise, try to preserve themselves by holding the individual down ... Government itself, indeed, may be reasonably defined as a conspiracy against him. Its one permanent aim, whatever its form, is to hobble him sufficiently to maintain itself."
--H. L. Mencken

Rate

--A. A. Milne

--General Douglas MacArthur
Speech to the Michigan legislature, in Lansing, Michigan, May 15, 1952

Strangely

"Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possession is a disease in them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break, but the poor may not. They have a religion in which the poor worship, but the rich will not! They even take tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule. They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse."
--Sitting Bull
