Who said “In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers…”?

“In the twentieth century one of the most personal relationships to have developed is that of the person and the state. It's become a fact of life that governments have become very intimate with people, most always to their detriment.”

“If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”

“The State must follow, and not lead, the character and progress of the citizen.”

“The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.”

“While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.”

“Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.”

“Many a time I have wanted to stop talking and find out what I really believed.”

“Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.”

“The principles of the good society call for a concern with an order of being -- which cannot be proved existentially to the sense organs -- where it matters supremely that the human person is inviolable, that reason shall regulate the will, that truth shall prevail over error.”

“Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.”

“There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.”
