Best Quotes about Government
But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots.
Bunting, Basil
When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening, foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us.
President Barack Obama
The monarchy is a labor intensive industry.
Wilson, Harold
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. [The Motto Of The U.S. Postal Service]
Herodotus
In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.
Einstein, Albert
You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.
Limbaugh, Rush
When any government, or church for that matter, undertakes to say to it's 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 motive.
Heinlein, Robert
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.
H. L. Mencken
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
Marshalov, Boris

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von
Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.
Solon
I say to myself that I mustn't let myself be cut off in there, and yet the moment I enter my bag is taken out of my hand, I'm pushed in, shepherded, nursed and above all cut off, alone. Whitehall envelops me.
Crossman, Richard
Of all tasks of government the most basic is to protect its citizens against violence.
Dulles, John Foster
The supply of government exceeds demand.
Lapham, Lewis H.
In the councils of a state, the question is not so much, what ought to be done? As, what can be done?
Proverb, French
The mechanism that directs government cannot be virtuous, because it is impossible to thwart every crime, to protect oneself from every criminal without being criminal too; that which directs corrupt mankind must be corrupt itself; and it will never be by means of virtue, virtue being inert and passive, that you will maintain control over vice, which is ever active: the governor must be more energetic than the governed.
Sade, Marquis De
Thou camest out of thy mother's belly without government, thou hast liv'd hitherto without government, and thou mayst be carried to thy long home without government, when it shall please the Lord. How many people in this world live without government, yet do well enough, and are well look'd upon?
Cervantes, Miguel De
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.
Jackson, Andrew
It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most.
Lippmann, Walter
Safety of the state is the highest law.
Justinian
Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.
Thoreau, Henry David
It is function of government to invent philosophies to explain the demands of its own convenience.
Kempton, Murray
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Reagan, Ronald
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Reagan, Ronald
The government must always be a step ahead of the popular movement.
Boytzwnburg, Count
To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.
Friedman, Milton
I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government rather than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.
Johnson, Samuel
Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.
Kocher, Gerhard
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
John Kenneth Galbraith
The greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war.
Hospers, John
Public instruction should be the first object of government.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Balzac, Honore De
Government can be bigger than any of the players on the field as a referee, but it has no right to become one of the players.
Igleheart, Austin
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Wallis, W. Allen
Being nice to governments doesn't work, they are such lying bastards.
Baluch, Joy
Government is not reason and it is not eloquence. It is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
Washington, George
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time.
Churchill, Winston
There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the money touch, but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Bastiat, Frederic
The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.
Shaw, George Bernard
