Government cannot do everything, so we need to first decide what government ought to be doing, then figure out what it's capable of doing, and then follow the jobs we choose to completion.

We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

We carry out our work under the leadership of the government.

My task as a citizen is to get the government to do more good and less inefficient and wasteful work.

We believe in some basic human principles - everyone should have the opportunities not just to survive, but to excel with their God-given talents and abilities. Those are the values that should be reflected in our budgets.

We cannot perform our tasks to the best of our power, unless we think well of our own capacity.

Society needs people who can manage projects in addition to handling individual tasks.

The role of government is to steer us in the right direction, not do all the work for us.

Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat; I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.
