Hey guys, here are a few government quotes I found. Hope you enjoy:
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Winston Churchill
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
Abraham Lincoln
If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con' what is the opposite of 'progress'?
Paul Harvey
Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Benjamin Franklin
Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.
Otto von Bismarck

Very German indeed. I'm pretty sure Winnie said "Democracy is the worst kind of government, apart from all the other ones."
