    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.”

    “And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats,
    None knew so well as I:

    More deaths than one must die.”
