Samizdata slogan of the day
Perry de Havilland (London)  Slogans/quotations

This constant intervention by government in tasks that belong to the
individual must cease ... Day by day the doctrines and practices of a
paternal government are speciously and tentatively expanding over the
country, and the habit of popular thought is unhappily becoming
accustomed to them.
- Senator Thos S. Bayard to Congress, April 1884

(with thanks to David Goldstone)

That should be up for "Samizdata Slogan of the Year".

I agree with DJS - Maybe you should consider adding that quote to the Samizdata side panel.
