Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of
authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to
guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in
all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to
be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
-- Noah Webster
