"No tyranny is more cruel than the one practiced in the shadow of the laws and under color of justice - when, so to speak, one proceeds to drown the unfortunate on the very plank by which they had saved themselves."
-Montesquieu (Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu; 18 January 1689 – 10 February 1755)
Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and their Decline, 1734
