“The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to,for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well,is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
