All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.
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.
A monarchy conducted with infinite wisdom and infinite benevolence is the most perfect of all possible governments.
As a general rule, governments are unlimited in their powers. All free governments, perhaps all other governments, are entitled in some shape or other to make laws and to repeal or amend them.
A government is for the benefit of all the people.
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.
All government, of course, is against liberty.
In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.
Who then is free? The wise man who can command himself.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free.
