"The Greek word for idiot, literally translated, means one who does not participate in politics. That sums up my conviction on the subject."

Let ... individuals make the most of what God has given them, have their neighbors do the same, and then do all they can to serve each other. There is no use in one man, or one nation, to try to do or be everything. It is a good thing to be dependent on each other for something, it makes us civil and peaceable.
