“Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
Louis D. Brandeis
“In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?”
Saint Augustine
“Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings, when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior, can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness.”
Fred Woodworth
“If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary; if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad also.”
Fred Woodworth
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
Thomas Paine
“Whosoever in authority exceeds the power given him by the law. . . may be opposed as any other man who by force invades the right or another.”
John Locke
. . . life without such security would be “nasty, brutish, and short”
Thomas Hobbes
“Men being, as has been said by Nature, all free, equal and independent, no one can be put out of this Estate, and subjected to the Political Power of another, without his own Consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his Natural Liberty, and puts on the bonds of Civil Society is by agreeing with other Men to join and unite into a Community. . . “
John Locke
“The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.”
Abraham Lincoln
