“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” “I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.” “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” “Most bad government has grown out of too much government.” “Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.”
