"The very existence of government at all, infers inequality. The citizen who is preferred to office becomes the superior to those who are not, so long as he is the repository of power, and the child inherits the wealth of the parent as a controlling law of society."
Government
"Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other."
Ignorance
"All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities."
Government

Quality
"The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority."
Power
"Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion."
