"...I would have wished that no one in the state that could claim 
he was above the law, and that no one from outside the state could 
dictate a law [Fuck the UN] that the state was obliged to recognize.  
For regardless of how the government is formally constituted, if 
there is a single man not subject to the law, all the others are 
necessarily at that man's mercy." -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; 
To The Republic Of Geneva: Discourse On Inequality.

"...It follows that if in such a fortunate situation it (the country/
state) would have nothing to fear but itself, and if citizens were 
trained in arms, it would be more for maintaining that soldiery 
spirit and noble courage that are so well suited for freedom and 
cultivate the taste for it rather than from the necessity for it's 
citizens' actual defence. -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; 
To The Republic Of Geneva: Discourse On Inequality.

"Freedom can only exist if all laws apply to all people." -- 
 Jean-Jacques Rousseau; possible paraphrase.

"The problem is to find a form of association which will defend and 
protect with the whole common force the person and goods of each associate, 
and in which each, while uniting himself with all, may still obey himself 
alone, and remain as free as before." -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
