Kiedy rząd boi się ludu, jest wolność. Kiedy ludzie boją się rządu, jest tyrania.
When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
John Basil Barnhill Głębia: 9 | John Basil Barnhill, Barnhill-Tichenor Debate on Socialism, As It Appeared in the National Rip-Saw (Saint Louis, Mo.: The National Rip-Saw Pub. Co., 1914), 34.
