Born in other countries, yet believing you could be happy in this, our laws acknowledge, as they should do, your right to join us in society, conforming, as I doubt not you will do, to our established rules.

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to Hugh White, May 2, 1801
Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government.
– Milton Friedman
