Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it. |
If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet. |

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master. |
As government expands, liberty contracts. |
