John Locke
The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
How then shall they have the play-games you allow them, if none must be bought for them? I answer, they should make them themselves, or at least endeavour it, and set themselves about it. ...And if you help them where they are at a stand, it will more endear you to them than any chargeable toys that you shall buy for them.
John Locke
The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.
