The Declaration of Independence says when government fails the people have the right to replace it. Well New York State government has failed and the people have the right indeed the people have the the people have the obligation to act.

When government disappears it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone other interests will take their place.

Look I think the worst case scenario is obvious. I think first of all it doesn't work for very long. It's an unstable government that raises taxes and destroys the image we're building for Canada as a strong place to invest.

Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.

Our goal is to displace the entrenched powers in Washington restore the rightful balance between the state and federal government.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country make sure al-Qaeda didn't come back and make sure the Taliban wasn't resurging. It didn't work out.

When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria you've got to be prepared as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan to become the government and I'm not sure any country either the United States or I don't hear of anyone else who's willing to take on that responsibility.

The problem with leaderless uprisings taking over is that you don't always know what you get at the other end. If you are not careful you could replace a bad government with one much worse!

For those who aspire to live in a high cost high tax big government place our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist big government paradise you long for.

The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly the true place for a just man is also a prison.

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

To hear some men talk of the government you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation and kept the planets in their places.

Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.

The instant formal government is abolished society begins to act. A general association takes place and common interest produces common security.

It's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.

Since you cannot do good to all you are to pay special attention to those who by the accidents of time or place or circumstances are brought into closer connection with you.

The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions and if the road to hell is paved with them then it's a pretty good detour.

Walk a mile in my shoes is good advice. Our children will learn to respect others if they are used to imagining themselves in another's place.

Life is neither good or evil but only a place for good and evil.
