"The more laws and restrictions there are, the poorer the people become. The sharper the weapons, the more unrest in the land. The more clever and cunning the people, the stranger the events that occur. The more rules and laws, the more thieves and robbers." - Lao Ma (13th Century BCE) aka Lao Tzu (5th Century BCE)
"A people ruled by a king lacks many things--but above all, freedom, which does not mean having a just master, but having no master at all." - Cicero (1st Century BCE)
