Quote by John Arthorne

He who lets time rule him will live the life of a slave.

He who lets time rule him will live the life of a slave.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who allow time to control their lives will feel like they have no freedom or control over their decisions and actions. If one becomes too consumed and constrained by the constraints of time, they may lose sight of their personal goals and aspirations, merely focusing on meeting deadlines and being punctual. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of managing and prioritizing time effectively to ensure a fulfilled and autonomous existence rather than living in subservience to the demands of time.

If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justified merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgments of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence.

The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely require

The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. The only constitutional tax is the tax which ministers to public necessity. The property of the country belongs to the people of the country. Their title is absolute. They do not support any privileged class; they do not need to maintain great military forces; they ought not to be burdened with a great array of public employees. They are not required to make any contribution to Government expenditures except that which they voluntarily assess upon themselves through the action of their own representatives. Whenever taxes become burdensome a remedy can be applied by the people; but if they do not act for themselves, no one can be very successful in acting for them.
