- I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.
- Kay Bailey Hutchison on Government
- I have long said there are three distinct groups under the GOP's tent: theological warriors, who want to impose their social views on the rest of society Tea Party zealots, who say with a straight face that they want the government to get out of their Medicare and remnants of the pro-business moderates.
- Eliot Spitzer on Government
- I have no doubt but that the misery of the lower classes will be found to abate whenever the Government assumes a freer aspect and the laws favor a subdivision of Property.
- James Madison on Government
- I have no doubt that the government of this great nation will work with its people to lead New Orleans and the Gulf Coast back to an enlightened, proud, safe part of the world.
- Harry Connick, Jr. on Government
- I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.
- Martin Sheen on Government
- I hope all of you are going to fill out your census form when it comes in the mail next month. If you don't return the form the area you live in might get less government money and you wouldn't want that to happen, would you.
- Andy Rooney on Government
- I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
- Thomas Jefferson on Government
- I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in. You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.
- George W. Bush on Government
- I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time.
- Mitt Romney on Government
- I love and always have loved policy issues and trying to have an impact on the issues that are out there. I cherish my years in government. I have loved my participation at CNN, at Current writing teaching. Where I will go next, I will have to sort out.
- Eliot Spitzer on Government
- I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
- John Updike on Government
- I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.
- Jerry Garcia on Government
- I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.
- Anthony Trollope on Government
- I only ask of the government to be treated as all other men are treated.
- Chief Joseph on Government
- I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
- Thomas Jefferson on Government
- I pinch myself because of the understanding that I've been blessed with a real rare opportunity that few Americans ever get - to serve their government and their people at this level.
- Marco Rubio on Government
- I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.
- Scott Walker on Government
- I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.
- Tony Campolo on Government
- I ran for president in order to be able to try to change Washington D.C. from the inside. Our federal government is broken.
- Herman Cain on Government
- I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.
- Vaclav Havel on Government
- I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.
- Mitt Romney on Government
- I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
- Eliot Spitzer on Government
- I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.
- Sonia Sotomayor on Government
- I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
- Mikhail Baryshnikov on Government
- I think Britain would be alright, if only we had a different Government.
- William Hague on Government
- I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.
- Theresa May on Government
- I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.
- Rand Paul on Government
- I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers.
- Michael Bloomberg on Government
- I think it true that, you know, sometimes things start to change even before a government changes and, actually, I think you can begin to see even the Labour machine beginning to understand that it has become over-reliant on targets and processes, that local governments have been over-bossed and bullied.
- David Cameron on Government
- I think its rather peculiar. It's not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision. But I'd guess you'd have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government, so I guess I would put the onus on them to answer why they did all these purges of God.
- Paul Ryan on Government
- I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.
- Scott Walker on Government
- I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.
- Jim DeMint on Government
- I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?
- Willie Nelson on Government
- I think that if we get back to some basic fundamental principles, we can make sure that we resolve the issues. And I think that that's what the Tea Party was all about. It's getting back to a constitutional conservative government. And that is limited, but it's also effective and efficient. I think that that's what we'll be able to do.
- Allen West on Government
- I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower on Government
- I think the American government is now the most corrupt government in the world.
- Ginger Baker on Government
- I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.
- Lyn Nofziger on Government
- I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
- George McGovern on Government
- I think the government has to reposition environment on top of their national and international priorities.
- Brian Mulroney on Government
- I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day, so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people, whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq, have learnt lessons.
- William Hague on Government
- I think there are certain folks in Missouri that don't trust government. And they haven't trusted government for a long time.
- Claire McCaskill on Government
- I think, though, if I had to look at the role of government and what it does in people's lives, I see the EEOC as having much more legitimacy than the others, if properly run.
- Clarence Thomas on Government
- I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government, by taking them all over the United States, and giving them a correct idea of the customs, life, etc., of the pale faces, so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.
- Buffalo Bill on Government
- I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.
- Marco Rubio on Government
- I want anyone who believes in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed.
- Rush Limbaugh on Government
- I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs, I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.
- Benjamin Carson on Government
- I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.
- Jon Huntsman, Jr. on Government
- I was determined that no British government should be brought down by the action of two tarts.
- Harold MacMillan on Government
- I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots.
- Johnny Depp on Government
- I was elected to come to an incredibly dysfunctional capital and make the government work better, and that's what I'm doing.
- Andrew Cuomo on Government
