"Justice without force is impotent,
force without justice is tyranny.
Unable to make what is just strong,
we have made what is strong just."

"The government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution."
-- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
(1856-1941) US Supreme Court Justice

"We are corrupted by prosperity.
And when the state is corrupt,
then the laws are most multiplied."
