“Why not include a provision that everybody shall, in good weather, hunt on his own land and catch fish in rivers that are public property and that Congress shall never restrain any inhabitant of America from eating and drinking, at seasonable times, or prevent his lying on his left side, in a long winter’s night, or even on his back, when he is fatigued by lying on his right.”

“For in a Republic, who is ‘the country?’ Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle?

”Why, the Government is merely a servant merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.”

”On general principles of law and reason, there are no such ‘nations.’ … Our pretended treaties, then, being made with no legitimate or bona fide nations, or representatives of nations, and being made, on our part, by persons who have no legitimate authority to act for us, have intrinsically no more validity than a pretended treaty made by the Man in the Moon with the king of the Pleiades.”

– Lysander Spooner

”And the so-called sovereigns, in these different governments, are simply the heads, or chiefs, of different bands of robbers and murderers.”

– Gerry Spence
