“The Bill of Rights was not written to protect governments from trouble. It was written precisely to give the people the constitutional means to cause trouble for governments they no longer trusted”. –Henry Steele Commager

Woodrow Wilson

“I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world… no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men”. –Woodrow Wilson

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

“They think democracy — I used to say ‘damn the democracy’, because it’s not a stable government”. –Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Friedrich von Hayek

“It is possible for a dictator to govern in a liberal way. And it is also possible for a democracy to govern with a total lack of liberalism. Personally, I prefer a liberal dictator to a democratic government lacking liberalism”. –Friedrich von Hayek

Vernon Richards

“Violence as a means breeds violence; the cult of personalities as a means breeds dictators — big and small — and servile masses; government — even with the collaboration of socialists and anarchists — breeds more government. Surely then, freedom as a means breeds more freedom, possibly even the Free Society!” –Vernon Richards

Thomas Francis Meagher

“A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation”. –Thomas Francis Meagher

Alexander Hamilton

“It has been observed that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government”. –Alexander Hamilton

Peter Jennings

“This role is designed to question the behavior of government officials on behalf of the public. I think people who have done this, and all jobs in journalism, have believed that”. –Peter Jennings

Steve Allen

“Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances”. –Steve Allen

“We are all assumed, these days, to reside at one extreme of the opinion spectrum, or another. We are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. We are free traders or protectionists. We are pro-private sector or pro-big government. We are feminists or chauvinists. But in the real world, few of us holds these extreme views. There is instead a spectrum of opinion”. –Michael Crichton

Wilhelm von Humboldt

“The government is best which makes itself unnecessary”. –Wilhelm von Humboldt

“A state too expensive in itself, or by virtue of its dependencies, ultimately falls into decay; its free government is transformed into tyranny; it disregards the principles which it should preserve, and finally degenerates into despotism”. –Simon Bolivar

“Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress, but they regard the things government does for others as socialism”. –Earl Warren

“I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager”. –Calvin Coolidge
