People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.

Morals are in all countries the result of legislation and government they are not African or Asian or European: they are good or bad.

And I don't think that government has a role in telling people how to live their lives. Maybe a minister does maybe your belief in God does maybe there's another set of moral codes but I don't think government has a role.

Government is essentially immoral.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence the morality the justice and the interest of the people themselves.

When there is a lack of honor in government the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

The worst government is often the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life the children those who are in the twilight of life the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life the sick the needy and the handicapped.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

If I was House's friend I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don't always like morally good people do we?
