government
“The state is not abolished—it withers away.”
“A government of laws, and not of men.”
“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.”
“The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.”
“It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.”
“That government is best which governs least.”
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
