"Happiness, which is not mere pleasure, is found in man's natural function, which is this activity on his own behalf. A restless individualism is inherent in the Founders' Aristotelian understanding of human nature. For Locke, the category of 'property' encompassed not just land and other material possessions but also one's self, meaning one's life and the liberty to make use of it. This is how he meant 'government has no other end but the preservation of property.'" - George Will
