From the book Power in the People by Felix Morley, as linked by Gary Galles at the Ludwig von Mises Institute:

The real sources of American strength…[rest] on the belief that the individual is at least potentially important, and that he fulfills himself through voluntary co-operation in a free society. This belief implies an instinctive hostility to the State—an agency created to discipline society and with a consequent tendency to assume the direction of all social functions.
