Nations grown corrupt love bondage more than liberty

Nations grown corrupt
Love bondage more than liberty;
Bondage with ease than strenuous liberty.
John Milton

Direct, to the point, and somewhat scary.  The link below provides the text to the speech.

Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves

The Last Nail

Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.
Saint Aurelius Augustine
