Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.

I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.

Our government is founded upon the intelligence of the people. I for one do not despair of the republic. I have great confidence in the virtue of the great majority of the people and I cannot fear the result.

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.

Fear is the foundation of most governments.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat but you will not live.

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty.

I'm very very concerned about the Bush presidency. I'm worried about the kinds of cuts in domestic programs that mean something to a lot of people including members of my family who depend on certain things from the government.

Well I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family it's not bestowed on you by the government you have to be nominated by the public.
