“The Democratic principle...would have no man's benefit achieved at the expense of his neighbors...This one single rule, rationally construed and applied, is enough to form the starting point of all that is necessary in government; to make no more laws than those useful for preventing a man or body of men from infringing on the rights of other men.”
Walt Whitman
American poet, essayist, and journalist.
(1819 - 1892)
