The merit of our Constitution was, not that it promotes democracy, but checks it. – Horatio Seymour Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The government of the absolute majority is but the government of the strongest interests; and when not effectively checked, is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised...

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! – Ronald Reagan Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The greatest violator of the principle of equal liberty is the State. Its functions are to control, to rule, to dictate, to regulate, and in exercising these functions it interferes with and injures individuals who have done no wrong. The objection to government is, not that it controls those who invade the liberty of others, but that it controls the non-invader. It may be necessary to govern one who will not govern himself, but that in no wise justifies governing one who is capable of and willing to govern himself. To argue that because some need restraint all must be restrained is neither consistent nor logical. – Charles T. Sprading Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand. – Benjamin Disraeli Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It’s a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you’re hurt. – Tom Gates Famous Quote	added 4 years ago

One day you’re going to remember me and how much I loved you... then you’re going to hate yourself for letting me go. – Aubrey Drake Graham Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Don’t cry when the sun is gone, because your tears won’t let you see the stars. – Violeta Parra Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I could think of no worse example for nations abroad, who for the first time were trying to put free electoral procedures into effect, than that of the United States wrangling over the results of our presidential election, and even suggesting that the presidency itself could be stolen by thievery at the ballot box. – Thomas Jefferson Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
By far the most numerous and most flagrant violations of personal liberty and individual rights are performed by governments. The major crimes throughout history, the ones executed on the largest scale, have been committed not by individuals or bands of individuals but by governments, as a deliberate policy of those governments, that is, by the official representatives of governments, acting in their official capacity. – John Hospers Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The lesson that Americans today have forgotten or never learned -- the lesson which our ancestors tried so hard to teach -- is that the greatest threat to our lives, liberty, property, and security is not some foreign government, as our rulers so often tell us. The greatest threat to our freedom and well-being lies with our own government!. – Jacob G. Hornburger Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote! – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. – Josef Stalin Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
It's not the hand that signs the laws that holds the destiny of America. It's the hand that casts the ballot. – Harry S. Truman Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it? – William Marcy Tweed Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I think I have served the purpose that I came here for, which was to provide a credible election product for our members. – Brenda Snipes Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
