  1. Civil Disobedience

  2. “If injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth – certainly the machine will wear out.” Injustice = Spring

  3. "Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine."

  4. “I meet this American government, or its representative, the State government, directly, face to face, once a year – no more – in the person of its tax-gatherer; this is the only mode in which a man situated as I am necessarily meets it..”

  5. “If you are cheated out of a single dollar by your neighbor, you do not rest satisfied with knowing you are cheated, or with saying that you are cheated, or even with petitioning him to pay you your due…”

  6. “The broadest and most prevalent error requires the most disinterested Virtue to sustain it.” Why ask a bully “Why are you bullying me?” Why petition the government ?” Taxes will actually hurt

  7. “It is not a man’s duty, as a matter of Course, to devote himself to the eradiation Of any, even to most enormous, wrong; he May still properly have other concerns to Engage him; but it is his duty, at least, to Wash his hands of it…”

  8. “Men, generally, under such as government as this, think that They ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them.”

  9. “Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison”

  10. “But even suppose blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man’s real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now”
