Quote

The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

Few governments in the world, for example, praise human rights more ardently than does the government of France, and few have a worse record of supporting tyrants and killers.

The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.

The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.

Most governments do have inbuilt biases in favour of the rich and powerful, and most do contain plenty of manipulators who love intrigue, who have lost whatever moral compass they may once have had and who protect themselves with steely cynicism.

All governments, the worst on earth, and the most tyrannical on earth, are free governments to that portion of the people who voluntarily support them.

When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

Government is essentially immoral.
