Equality before the law is probably forever unattainable. It is a noble ideal, but it can never be realized, for what men value in this world is not rights but privileges.

I have not stopped water when it should run. I have not made a cutting in a canal of running water.
Alvin A. BullockShow me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty?

For himself (and only for a short time) a man may postpone enlightenment in what he ought to know, but to renounce it for posterity is to injure and trample on the rights of mankind.

Joseph R. StrayerTags: state salvation government rights
Man is guaranteed only those rights which he can defend.
