24.
In quiet and untroubled times it seems to every administrator that it is only by his efforts that the whole population under his rule is kept going, and in this consciousness of being indispensable every administrator finds the chief reward of his labor and efforts. While the sea of history remains calm the ruler-administrator in his frail bark, holding on with a boat hook to the ship of the people and himself moving, naturally imagines that his efforts move the ship he is holding on to. But as soon as a storm arises and the sea begins to heave and the ship to move, such a delusion is no longer possible. The ship moves independently with its own enormous motion, the boat hook no longer reaches the moving vessel, and suddenly the administrator, instead of appearing a ruler and a source of power, becomes an insignificant, useless, feeble man.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Voltaire

29.
The government must always be a step ahead of the popular movement.
Boytzwnburg, Count

30.
Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman

31.
It is doubtful that the government knows much more than the public does about how government [Economic] policies will work.
Wallis, W. Allen

32.
The worst thing in the world next to anarchy, is government.
Beecher, Henry Ward

33.
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Murray, Bill

34.
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.
H. L. Mencken

35.
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
Gladstone, William E.

36.
The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

37.
The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.
Themistocles

38.
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

Jefferson, Thomas

44.
The government is us; we are the government, you and I.
Roosevelt, Theodore

45.
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

46.
The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life -- this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.
O'Rourke, P. J.

47.
Beaverbrook is so pleased to be in the government that he is like the town tart who finally married the Mayor.
Baxter, Beverley

48.
The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.
William H. Borah

49.
To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

50.
If you join government, calmly make your contribution and move on. Don't go along to get along; do your best and when you have to -- and you will -- leave, and be something else.
Noonan, Peggy
