Text Quotes
We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows  (Government Quotes) As I watch government at all levels daily eat away at our freedom, I keep thinking how prosperity and government largesse have combined to make most of us fat and lazy and indifferent to, or actually in favor of, the limits being placed on that freedom  (Government Quotes) It must never be forgotten... that the liberties of the people are not so safe under the gracious manner of government as by the limitation of power  (Government Quotes) Behind all these men you have to do with, behind officers, and government, and people even, there is the country herself, your country, and... you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother  (Government Quotes) If the public safety be provided, liberty and propriety secured, justice administered, virtue encouraged, vice suppressed, and the true interest of the nation advanced, the ends of government are accomplished  (Government Quotes) People who create things nowadays can expect to be prosecuted by highly moralistic people who are incapable of creating anything. There is no way to measure the chilling effect on innovation that results from the threats of taxation, regulation and prosecution against anything that succeeds. We’ll never know how many ideas our government has aborted in the name protecting us  (Government Quotes) The present struggle seems less about abolishing big government than about who gets to use it  (Government Quotes) Government cannot make us equal; it can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law  (Government Quotes) It is no more the function of government to impose a moral code than to impose a religious code. And for the same reason  (Government Quotes) Private enterprise creates; government destroys. That is the great economic lesson of our times and all times  (Government Quotes) The chances of your being harmed by terrorists are mathematically minute. The chance of your being robbed by your own government? That’s easy: 100 per cent  (Government Quotes) To enable consensus politics to develop we need to empower people where they live. This means devolving financial resources and political power down to the community level. One of the greatest blocks to movement is fear. This fear can only be removed when people feel their voices are being heard by government and when they have a say in their own lives and communities  (Government Quotes) Many businesses with unpopular products or inefficient production find it much easier to curry the favor of a few influential politicians or a government agency than to compete in the open market  (Government Quotes) Over the next 20 to 30 years, we are going to end up with world government. It’s inevitable... There’s going to be conflict, coercion and consensus. That’s part of what will be required as we give birth to the first global civilization  (Government Quotes) Human life has dignity at every age the taking of innocent human life is always wrong. I believe our nation at every level of government must reject any scheme to permit or promote assisted suicide and euthanasia  (Government Quotes) One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offence to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the militia. The friends of a free government cannot be too watchful, to overcome the dangerous tendency of the public mind to sacrifice, for the sake of mere private convenience, this powerful check upon the designs of ambitious men  (Government Quotes) Our ancestors were eating meat over 2.5 million years ago. We mainly ate meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and nuts. We have to assume our physiology evolved in association with this diet. The balanced diet for our species was what we could acquire then, not what the government and doctors tell us to eat now  (Government Quotes) Loyalty must arise spontaneously from the hearts of people who love their country and respect their government  (Government Quotes) Certain things we cannot accomplish... by any process of government. We cannot legislate intelligence. We cannot legislate morality. No, and we cannot legislate loyalty, for loyalty is a kind of morality  (Government Quotes) The federal government is like a handicapped turtle trying to crawl around and keep up with the rabbit, which is technology  (Government Quotes) Maybe that’s because guns are sold at a profit, while schools are provided by the government  (Government Quotes) The ultimate success of this government and the stability of its institutions, its progress in all that can make a nation honored, depend upon its adherence to the principles of truth and righteousness  (Government Quotes) I do not believe that the government should have its long nose poked into the private consensual relationships between people  (Government Quotes) The proper direction of man’s thought is not toward the creation of new laws for government, but toward the acceptance of every person’s moral dignity  (Government Quotes) The more power a government has the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, and the more it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. The more constrained the power of governments, the more power is diffused, checked, and balanced, the less it will aggress on others and commit democide  (Government Quotes) To entrust the government with the power of determining the education which our children receive is entrusting our servant with the power to be our master  (Government Quotes) Government is, at every level, a means to gather in the labor and wealth of the people, and then instruct the people about new restrictions or monitoring of their lives  (Government Quotes) Government failure is always used as an excuse for government expansion. Government thrives on crisis and incompetence  (Government Quotes) The history of government regulation of food safety is one of government watchdogs chasing the horse after it’s out of the barn  (Government Quotes) Ours is supposed to be a government in which classes and distinctions melt into a harmonious whole. Until we reach this ideal of government, we will be a distracted, contentious people  (Government Quotes)
