The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this--that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.

The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat.

Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another.

Government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given.

These so-called governments are in reality only great bands of robbers and murderers, organized, disciplined, and constantly on the alert.

Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.

No government knows any limits to its power except the endurance of the people.

Everyone has a book inside of them - but it doesn't do any good until you pry it out.

Make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing a song

Always look forward. Follow the path of light

Human kindness is like a defective tap, the first gush may be impressive but the stream soon dries up.

The boundary of man is moderation. When once we pass that pale our guardian angel quits his charge of us.

I think shows that have more of a narrative and are about what's going to happen next, those need to wrap up as a complete story. But it's weird when a goofy comedy show needs to end.
