Writes Garrett,
Freedom as we know it is a condition of ego. Prosperity is a condition of things. Increase these satisfactions to any degree and there is still that knowledge of incompleteness which torments the spirit.

Garet Garrett (1878–1954) was an American journalist and author who was noted for his critiques of the New Deal and US involvement in the Second World War.
We have crossed the boundary that lies between Republic and Empire.
The executive power in the United States is no longer a coequal power; it is the dominant power in the land, as Empire requires.
The Roman Empire never doubted that it was the defender of civilization. Americans have added freedom and democracy. Yet the more that may be added to it the more it is the same language still. A language of power.
E.P. Dutton, 1928
