• Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims
  may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons
  than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
  sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who
  torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with
  the approval of their own conscience.
