If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
