"Big-government proponents embrace both the power of the federal government and the idea that millions of Americans ought to be dependent on its largesse. It's time to return to our Founders' love for small government. More is not always better."

Gary Bauer on Government

More quotes about Government

  • "A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise 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, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities."

    Thomas Jefferson on Government

  • "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

    Winston Churchill 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

  • "Government is not reason it is not eloquent it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

    George Washington on Government

  • "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil in its worst state, an intolerable one."

    Thomas Paine on Government

More quotes by Gary Bauer

  • "Catholics and evangelicals need to remain allied, and in solidarity, against the increasingly aggressive secularism of our age."

  • "I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith."

  • "The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidate's faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values."

  • "It's important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith - often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief."

  • "For the record, I believe elected officials should talk about faith. Our founders believed the moral principles of faith were indispensable to our nation's survival. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times."
