Government expands to absorb revenue and then some.

No government has ever been beneficent when the attitude of government was that it was taking care of the people. The only freedom consists in the people taking care of the government.

The firm basis of government is justice, not pity.

Life under a good government is rarely dramatic; life under a bad government is always so.

Whenever governments adopt a moral tone as opposed to an ethical one you know something is wrong.

Whatever happens in a government could have happened differently, and it usually would have been better if it had.

The century is advanced, but every individual begins afresh.

Every beginning is a consequence - every beginning ends something.

It is horrible to see everything that one detested in the past coming back wearing the colors of the future.

Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own.
