There Is No Error So Monstrous That

The Man Who Prefers His Country Before Any Other Duty Shows The Same Spirit As The Man Who Surrenders Every Right To The State. They Both Deny That Right Is Superior To Authority.

Government By Idea Tends To Take In Everything, To Make The Whole Of Society Obedient To The Idea. Spaces Not So Governed Are Unconquered, Beyond The Border, Unconverted, A Future Danger.

The True Guide Of Our Conduct Is No Outward Authority, But The Voice Of God, Who Comes Down To Dwell In Our Souls, Who Knows All Our Thoughts, To Whom Are Owing All The Truth We Know, And All The Good We Do; For Vice Is Voluntary, And Virtue Comes From The Grace Of The Heavenly Spirit Within.

It Is Bad To Be Oppressed By A Minority, But It Is Worse To Be Oppressed By A Majority. For There Is A Reserve Of Latent Power In The Masses Which, If It Is Called Into Play, The Minority Can Seldom Resist. But From The Absolute Will Of An Entire People There Is No Appeal, No Redemption, No Refuge But Treason.

The One Pervading Evil Of Democracy Is The Tyranny Of The Majority.
