I heartily accept the motto, — "That government is best which
governs least;" & I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly
& systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this,
which I also believe, — "That government is best which
governs not at all;" & when men are prepared for it, that
will be the kind of government which they will have.

"On the Duty of Civil Disobedience"
