Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
Ayn Rand
Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
Ayn Rand
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Ayn Rand
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government.
Woody Allen
Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
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.
Robert A. Heinlein
The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.
Robert A. Heinlein
Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
Newt Gingrich
We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.
Newt Gingrich
The time has come to tell the truth about the corruption of the government employee unions in this country.
Newt Gingrich
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
Newt Gingrich
The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.
Milton Friedman
Government is essentially immoral.
Herbert Spencer
The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing.
Herbert Spencer
Old forms of government finally grow so oppressive that they must be thrown off even at the risk of reigns of terror.
Herbert Spencer
For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.
Alexander Pope
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
