Richard M. Nixon

2.
Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
Einstein, Albert

Shaw, George Bernard

4.
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 greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war.
Hospers, John

The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
H. L. Mencken

9.
A government is the only vessel that leaks from the top.
Reston, James

A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.
Bismarck, Otto Von

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

We must judge a government by its general tendencies and not by its happy accidents.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

14.
To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.
Mirabeau, Comte De

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Bastiat, Frederic

16.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
Voltaire

17.
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.

George W. Bush

21.
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

22.
It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But, there is no alternative to the state.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

23.
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

24.
All good government must begin at home.
Haweis, H. R.

25.
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

26.
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
Jefferson, Thomas

27.
That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.
Pittacus

28.
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
Crockett, Davy

29.
Beaverbrook is so pleased to be in the government that he is like the town tart who finally married the Mayor.
Baxter, Beverley

30.
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

31.
Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.
Hume, David

32.
What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
Madison, James

33.
Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.
Franklin, Benjamin

34.
The body politic, as well as the human body, begins to die as soon as it is born, and carries itself the causes of its destruction.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

35.
Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman

36.
The supply of government exceeds demand.
Lapham, Lewis H.

Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
Mencken, H. L.

38.
The point to remember is what government gives it must first take away
Caldwell, John S.

39.
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

40.
The whole country is one vast insane asylum and they're letting the worst patients run the place.
Welch, Robert

41.
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

42.
The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

43.
The constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.
Douglas, William O.

44.
Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
Reagan, Ronald

45.
I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
Updike, John

46.
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Balzac, Honore De

47.
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

48.
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.

49.
The auditor is a watchdog and not a bloodhound.
Topes, Lord Justice

50.
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
Jackson, Andrew
