Thoughts on government

The less government we have the better—the fewer laws and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal government is the influence of private character, the growth of the individual. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. - Thomas Jefferson

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves. - Grover Cleveland
