- The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.
- Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
- Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
- Harry S Truman (1884 - 1972), August 8, 1950
- There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there. There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. - Barack Obama (1961 - ), Election Night Speech in Chicago, 11-04-08
- Before we get too depressed about the state of our politics, let's remember our history. The great debates of the past, all stirred great passions. They all made somebody angry, and at least once led to a terrible war. What is amazing, is that despite all the conflict, our experiment in democracy has worked better than any form of government on earth.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010
- When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening, foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010
- What we should be asking is not whether we need a big government or small government, but how we can create a smarter and better government.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010
- Any government is potentially the worst client in the world you could ever possibly want to have.
- Thomas Heatherwick, TED, Building the Seed Cathedral, March 2011
- We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.
- Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
- Judge of thine improvement, not by what thou speakest or writest, but by the firmness of thy mind, and the government of thy passions and affections.
- Thomas Fuller (1608 - 1661)
- The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.
- Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
