Civil Disobedience

Bol

I heartily accept the motto, ''That government is best which governs least''; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—''That government is best which governs not at all''; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government.
