"When a government becomes powerful, it is destructive, extravagant and violent; it is an usurper which takes bread from innocent mouths and deprives honorable men of their substance for votes with which to perpetuate itself." - Cicero "Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is force." - George Washington "In all that people can do for themselves, the government ought not to interfere." - Abraham Lincoln "The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power." - John Stuart Mill "The government's role is whatever the government defines it to be." - Helen Clark |
