Quote by Marco Rubio

Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect our rights, not to grant them.

Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect

Summary

The quote emphasizes the fundamental principle behind the design of the American government. It suggests that the American people desired a government with defined boundaries, one that is responsible for safeguarding the rights of its citizens rather than having the authority to bestow those rights upon them. The intent is to convey the idea that individual rights are inherent and preexisting, and that the role of government is solely to ensure their protection, rather than dictating or controlling them. This perspective reflects the view that the people's rights should be inviolable, and the government's primary duty is to preserve and uphold them.

I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it.
