Text Quotes
In some dim beginning, man created the institution of government as a convenience for himself. And, ever since that time, government has been doing its best to become an inconvenience  (Government Quotes) Nations crumble from within when the citizenry asks of government those things which the citizenry might better provide for itself  (Government Quotes) All of us should remember that the federal government is not some mysterious institution comprised of buildings, files and paper. The people are the government. What we create we ought to be able to control  (Government Quotes) The best view of big government is in the rearview mirror as we leave it behind  (Government Quotes) A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude  (Government Quotes) A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species  (Government Quotes) No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers  (Government Quotes) That there may happen cases in which the national government may be necessitated to resort to force, cannot be denied  (Government Quotes) The regulation of these various and interfering interests forms the principal task of modern legislation and involves the spirit of party and faction in the necessary and ordinary operations of government  (Government Quotes) A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government  (Government Quotes) The standard of good behavior for the continuance in office of the judicial magistracy is certainly one of the most valuable of the modern improvements in the practice of government  (Government Quotes) A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking  (Government Quotes) A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions  (Government Quotes) We repose an unwise confidence in any government, or in any men, when we invest them officially with too much, or an unnecessary quantity of, discretionary power  (Government Quotes) The will of the people is the source and the happiness of the people the end of all legitimate government upon earth  (Government Quotes) History has tried hard to teach us that we can’t have good government under politicians. Now, to go and stick one at the very head of the government couldn’t be wise  (Government Quotes) America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long  (Government Quotes) There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says are the minimum amounts we should be exposed to are actually good for you and reduce cases of cancer  (Government Quotes) That government is best which governs not at all; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have  (Government Quotes) The purpose and function of government is not to preside over change but to prevent change. By political methods when unavoidable, by violence when convenient  (Government Quotes) Representative government has broken down. Our politicians represent not the people who vote for them but the commercial interests who finance their election campaigns. We have the best politicians that money can buy  (Government Quotes) Terrorism: deadly violence against humans and other living things, usually conducted by government against its own people  (Government Quotes) The history of government management of money has, except for a few short happy periods, been one of incessant fraud and deception  (Government Quotes) The equal rights of man and the happiness of every individual are now acknowledged to be the only legitimate objects of government  (Government Quotes) I consider ethics, as well as religion, as supplements to law in the government of man  (Government Quotes) In every government on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy, which cunning will discover, and wickedness insensibly open, cultivate and improve  (Government Quotes) And as a man, who is attached to a prostitute, is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one  (Government Quotes) Here then is the origin and rise of government; namely, a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral virtue to govern the world; here too is the design and end of government, viz. Freedom and security  (Government Quotes) I draw my idea of the form of government from a principle in nature, which no art can overturn, viz. that the more simple any thing is, the less liable it is to be disordered; and the easier repaired when disordered  (Government Quotes) I don’t believe in government. I hate politics. I’m against it. And I hope that sometime this fall, we can destroy part of our government, and next year destroy even more of it. The less government, the happier I will be  (Government Quotes)
