"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size."
"I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden."
- Barry Goldwater
"...laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt."
- Tacitus |
