Wisdom Quote

"Little else is required to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest degree of barbarism, but peace, low taxes, and tolerable administration of justice; all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.  All governments which thwart this natural course, which force things into another channel, or which endeavor to arrest the progress of society at a particular point, are unnatural, and to support themselves are obliged to be oppressive and tyrannical."

--Adam Smith
