Thought For the Day: The Antidote To This Abuse of Formal Government Is the Influence of Private Character, the Growth of the Individual

“The less government we have the better — the fewer laws and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal government is the influence of private character, the growth of the individual.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Individualism not collectivism is the guiding force of civilization and the best dominant culture for society to generally be governed. It fosters the dignity and accountability by which humanity best flourishes and grows in stature.
