Governments never learn. Only people learn.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law it invites every man to become a law unto himself it invites anarchy.

If men were angels no government would be necessary.

People try to live within their income so they can afford to pay taxes to a government that can't live within its income.

The worst thing in this world next to anarchy is government.

The instant formal government is abolished society begins to act. A general association takes place and common interest produces common security.

For in reason all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.

It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.

The government which was designed for the people has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
