"The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." Tacitus
Think about this next time we talk about adding yet another layer of bureaucracy. I wonder what he would think about how the media and special interest groups often call for "more laws."
I thank Cato of Utica for this. In fact, I remember this quote fondly from a Roman classics course I took in university.
Tacictus was perceptivus.
