“Laws are chains to the many, and whips to the few.”
“Debt is an ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slavedriver. ”
“I've always felt that the best whips and chains are in the mind. With a little creativity, the physical ones are hardly necessary.”
“Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number- Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you Ye are many-they are few.”
“Living things are restrained by chains. The laws of nature, the flow of time, the vessel known as your “body”, and the existence called your mind. The one chain that people can wield, words.”
“Many laws as certainly make bad men, as bad men make many laws.”
