Motivational Quotes
Government
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.

Best Quotes about Government
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
Marshalov, Boris
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.
H. L. Mencken
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Jefferson, Thomas
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
Crockett, Davy
Men are not governed by justice, but by law or persuasion. When they refuse to be governed by law or persuasion, they have to be governed by force or fraud, or both.
Shaw, George Bernard
Of all tasks of government the most basic is to protect its citizens against violence.
Dulles, John Foster
Any cook should be able to run the country.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
Burns, George
A government is the only vessel that leaks from the top.
Reston, James
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Voltaire
The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von
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
In our consumer confidence surveys, we ask people whether they think government economic policy is good, fair, or poor. Increasingly, the answer we get is just plain laughter.
Schmiedeskamp, Jay
The constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.
Douglas, William O.
I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
Updike, John
Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.
Kocher, Gerhard
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots.
Bunting, Basil
Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.
Friedman, Milton
Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman
It is easy to rule over the good.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
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
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.
Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. Nixon
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Murray, Bill
Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved -- commitment to a scenario.
Baudrillard, Jean
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Bastiat, Frederic
The monarchy is a labor intensive industry.
Wilson, Harold
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 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
No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.
Tuchman, Barbara
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
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
The art of government is not to let me grow stale.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
Jackson, Andrew
Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
Truman, Harry S
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
Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.
Updike, John
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
Fear is the foundation of most government.
Adams, John
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Gardner, John W.
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Balzac, Honore De
An ambassador is an honest person sent to lie abroad for their country.
Wotton, Sir Henry
Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.
Solon
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
The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.
Themistocles
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
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Ford, Gerald R.
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
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
