The world is too much governed. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but to the crafty; and statutes adroitly devised hedge in monopolies as if they were divinities. The resultant misery and inequality, that curse mankind through loss of freedom, are adduced by the State Socialist as a reason for more government. The patient must be cured by a hair of the dog that bit him
William Lloyd Garrison, quoted as an epigraph to J. H. Levy, The Outcome of Individualism (1890; Third Edition, 1892).
