I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way. Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government. Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. Be the chief but never the lord. Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us. If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law. He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander. The doctor is often more to be feared than the disease.
