A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man.
Tacitus
Things forbidden have a secret charm.
The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace.
