立法权通过积极的自愿授予和制度从人民那里获得，只能是那种积极授予所传达的，这种授予只是为了制定法律，而不是为了制定立法者，立法者没有权力将他们的立法权转移给任何其他人。
The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws to any other hands.
出自汉·桓宽《盐铁论·疾贪》。贪婪卑鄙的风气源自处于上位的统治者，而不在下层民众；对民众的教育、对国民素质的改良在于执政者的措施是否得当，而不在于人民自身的素质。
每个故事都有一个目的，每个声音都值得被听到。
Coal miners don't just dig in the dirt, they dig for progress.
From life, from books, from others, we learn.
