The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is is that when we succeed we succeed because of our individual initiative but also because we do things together.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.

When one gets in bed with government one must expect the diseases it spreads.

I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.

The Great Depression like most other periods of severe unemployment was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.

It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.

I spent my whole life in the private sector 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow we don't put Americans to work.

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.

If you make any money the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets and all that don't get wet you can keep.

Things in our country run in spite of government not by aid of it.

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

Now let me be clear. The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution. If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits I'm not your president. You have that president today.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years no matter what it does.

I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately it's the government.

A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

It's not tyranny we desire it's a just limited federal government.

The real goal should be reduced government spending rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.

The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.

An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution which can only end in a distorted bastardized form of illegitimate government.

The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government.
