An efficient government is dangerous in the hands of the wrong man. Sadly, the right sort of man never seems interested in the job.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.
Individuals usually do a better job than the government.
I don't believe any person looking for work is fearful of political judgment. Government is a large institution, and if they believe that people are going to get rid of good employees for political reasons, that's absurd.
Governments are run by people. People can be bad.
Government on its own is always inefficient.
Someone who is a good person should have no fear of the government whatsoever.
People create jobs, not the government.
I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.
You can't run a government from one single person. What instead matters is that leadership be about gathering around extraordinary individuals and getting the best out of them.
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.
