The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.

Government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.
