Government


 To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places.
  Wendell Phillips

 Too much law was too much government; and too much government was too little individual privilege,- as too much individual privilege in its turn was selfish license
  Woodrow T. Wilson

 Too often in recent history liberal governments have been wrecked on rocks of loose fiscal policy
  Franklin D. Roosevelt

 Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.
  Henry David Thoreau

 We are endeavoring, too, to reduce the government to the practice of a rigorous economy, to avoid burdening the people, and arming the magistrate with patronage of money, which might be used to corrupt and undermine the principles of our government
  Thomas Jefferson

 We are proud because from the beginning of this nation man can walk upright no matter who he is or who she is. He can walk upright and meet his friend or his enemy... And he does not fear that, because that enemy may be in a position of great power... that he can be suddenly thrown in jail to rot here without charges and with no recourse to justice. We have the Habeas Corpus Act and we respect it.
  Dwight David Eisenhower

 Whatever government is not a government of laws, is a despotism, let it be called what it may
  Daniel Webster

 When a government becomes powerful it is destructive, extravagant and violent; it is an usurer which takes bread from innocent mouths and deprives honorable men of their substance, for votes with which to perpetuate itself
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.

 Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.
  Thomas Jefferson

 Which is the best government? That which teaches us to govern ourselves
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 While the people off fighting foreign tyrants generally get the praise of the American public, those who fight American tyrants mostly just get funny looks from their fellow Americans.

 Without God there could be no American form of
government nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the
first the most basic expression of Americanism."
  Dwight David Eisenhower

 You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.

 [There is] no question that an admission of making false statements to government officials and interfering with the FBI and the CIA is an impeachable offense.
  Bill Clinton
