Politics Quote by William H. Prescott
““a government, which does not rest on the sympathies of its subjects, cannot long abide; that human institutions, when not connected with human prosperity and progress, must fall, if not before the increasing light of civilisation, by the hand of violence; by violence from within, if not from without. And who shall lament their fall?””
![“[F]or the nature of government is to become a thing apart, an institution existing for its own sake, preying upon the people, and teaching whatever will tend to keep it secure in its seat.” quote by Voltairine de Cleyre](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e9e/voltairine-de-cleyre-13597_nature_f-or-the-nature-of-government-is-to-beco_2703218.jpg)
