"That government is best which governs not..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.”

“News Coverage!! As news expose rather than cover events.”

“What have I to do with plows? I cut another furrow than you see.”

“There is nothing so bad that politics cannot make it worse.”

“The power under the Constitution will always be in the people.”

“Our whole practical government is grounded in mob psychology and the Boobus Americanus will follow any command that promises to make him safer.”

“Democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political, sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic and political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests. The democratic form of government in itself does not automatically solve problems; it offers, however, a useful framework for their solution. Everything depends ultimately on the political and moral qualities of the citizenry.”

“No more let us alter or falter or palter. From Malta to Yalta, and Yalta to Malta.”

“Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.”
