Free government is the most difficult of all government. But it is everlastingly true that the plain people will make fewer mistakes than any other group of men, no matter how powerful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
An efficient government is dangerous in the hands of the wrong man. Sadly, the right sort of man never seems interested in the job.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.
I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free.
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
Governments are run by people. People can be bad.
It is not difficult to govern. All one has to do is not to offend the noble families.
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.
