Those who give and those who receive arbitrary power are alike criminal; and there is no man but is bound to resist it to the best of his power, wherever it shall show its face to the world.

It is a crime to bear it, when it can be rationally shaken off.

Nothing but absolute impotence can justify men in not resisting it to the utmost of their ability.
Law and arbitrary power are in eternal enmity.

Name me a magistrate, and I will name property; name me power, and I will name protection.

It is a contradiction in terms, it is blasphemy in religion, it is wickedness in politics, to say that any man can have arbitrary power.
