It has been a relatively quiet day, even PMQs remained the meaningless side-show it has become, so in order to exercise readers minds the following quotations are submitted, quotations that are relevant today and to the ills that affect our once-great nation.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.

The supply of government exceeds the demand.
