The reform of government needs to continue.

One must always keep one's government under control.

The message from the United States and Europe is that governments must live within their means.

The fact is, almost every year since the founding of these United States, our government has lived beyond its means.

Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.

I understand that government should live within its means, value the money it holds in trust from you the taxpayer, avoid waste and, above all else, observe the first maxim of good government: namely, do no avoidable harm.

There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

A government of, for and by the people, requires much from the people.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.

If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live beneath ours.
