Government

A couple of relevant quotes from Quote Garden for these difficult but exciting times:

“In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?” ~ St. Augustine

“The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.” ~ Woodrow Wilson

“Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” ~ Louis Brandeis
