William Godwin Quotes

«The real or supposed rights of man are of two kinds, active and passive; the right in certain cases to do as we list; and the right we possess to the forbearance or assistance of other men.»
«He has no right to his life when his duty calls him to resign it. Other men are bound... to deprive him of life or liberty, if that should appear in any case to be indispensably necessary to prevent a greater evil.»
«Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.»
«Obey; this may be right; but beware of reverence. Government is nothing but regulated force; force is its appropriate claim upon your attention.

«Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.»
«Once annihilate the quackery of government, and the most homebred understanding might be strong enough to detect the artifices of the state juggler that would mislead him.»
«Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion.»
«Cough, snow.»
«For there is such a thing as a broken spirit.»
