Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924)
U.S. Democratic politician, president.
Speech, 9 Sept. 1912, New York Press Club.
