Dennis Kucinich History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.
Thomas JeffersonWe are all assumed, these days, to reside at one extreme of the opinion spectrum, or another. We are pro-abortion or anti-abortion. We are free traders or protectionist.

Michael CrichtonThe chancellor's failure to give Britain's taxpayers value for money will be the terrible legacy of this government.
Oliver LetwinThe spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.

Ronald ReaganA prince without letters is a Pilot without eyes. All his government is groping
Ben JonsonOurs is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.
