Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one.

It's not tyranny we desire it's a just, limited, federal government.

A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

Now, let me be clear. The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution. If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits, I'm not your president. You have that president today.

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep.
