The ultimate aim of government is not to rule, or restrain, by fear,
nor to exact obedience, but contrariwise, to free every man from fear,
that he may live in all possible security; in other words, to
strengthen his natural right to exist and work without injury to
himself or others.
No, the object of government is not to change men from rational
beings into beasts or puppets, but to enable them to develop their
minds and bodies in security, and to employ their reason unshackled;
neither showing hatred, anger, or deceit, nor watched with the eyes of
jealousy and injustice. In fact, the true aim of government is liberty.
