Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government.

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.

The Great Depression like most other periods of severe unemployment was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.

When any government or any church for that matter undertakes to say to its subjects This you may not read this you must not see this you are forbidden to know the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.

No government ought to be without censors and where the press is free no one ever will.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

I swear by that old expression 'One monkey don't stop no show!' The reality is we still have some good men out there and we should hail those men as the kings they are.
