Den eneste sikre regel der findes i den selvregulerende måler
EFTERSPØRGSEL OG UDBUD Lad være med at udstede love
Lad være med at udstede love. Du dræber arbejdslysten med unødvendige
påbudLad være med at give præmier. Giv love der er lige for alle.
Betryg liv og ejendom og du vil ikke behøve give almisser. Luk
dørene op for udfoldelsemulighederne for talent og retsskaffenhed og
de skal nok vide at hævde sig og ejendom vil ikke havne i dårlige
hånder, I et frit og retfærdigt samfiund skyller ejendom fra den dovne
og den imbecile til den flittige, modige og ihærdige. Emerson
