Government must continue to live within its means.

A government must always be prepared for the unexpected.

The whole purpose of maintaining your power in government is to make sure that you stay in government. You stay in government by finding out who is liable to be against you. To do that, you try and put your finger into every single pie that is available to you.

Governments are not always right.

Governments don't control people like they used to.

A government capable of controlling the whole, and bringing its force to a point, is one of the prerequisites for national liberty. We combine in society, with an expectation to have our persons and properties defended against unreasonable exactions either at home or abroad.

If we have any problems, it's always with the government of the United States.

A fundamental duty of government is to protect its people.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

Since no one but you can know what's best for you, government control can't make your life better.
