A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

quotes
I have posted a bunch of quotes from founding fathers and past presidents. Fantastic advice they have to pass on to us! Please really read them. Think about them and see if as a nation we are following their advice. Are we?
Benjamin Franklin quote
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
John Adams quote
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
Ronald Reagan Quotes
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
George Washington Quote
Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Thomas Jefferson quote
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Thomas Jefferson quote
Again, hoping we can learn from the past and from some of our most famous founding fathers.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
