  "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its 
   victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under 
   robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber 
   baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be 
   satiated: but those who torment us for our own good will torment us 
   without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
