The solution for America's problem is not in terms of big government, but it is in big men over whom nobody stands in control but God.” MenGodProblemBigsGovernmentAmericaTermLibertySecuritySolutionsLionsSheepBig Government Author:Norman Vincent Peale
“I am convinced that those societies (such as the Native American peoples) which live without government enjoy in their general mass an infinitely greater degree of happiness than those who live under the European governments. Among the former, public opinion is in the place of law, & restrains morals as powerfully as laws ever did anywhere. Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves & sheep. I do not exaggerate.” TwoGovernmentLawNationsEnjoyMoralOpinionClassGreaterDegreesMassConvincedFormerNativeLatterDividedSheepNative AmericanPublic OpinionGoverningPretence Author:Thomas Jefferson
“The move to tax Internet sales, clothed as a 'fairness' issue, is the typical 'wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' ploy so often used by governments unwilling to cut expenditures to match revenues. It matters not whether its proponents have a 'D' or an 'R' after their name. It is a tax increase in either case.” MatterGovernmentMovingUsedNamesCasesIssuesCuttingInternetTaxesIncreaseClothingsSheepFairnessTypicalRevenueUnwillingExpendituresTax IncreasesPloyWolves In Sheep's Clothing Author:Bob Barr
“the State only aims at instilling those qualities in its public by which its demands are obeyed, and its exchequer is filled. Its highest attainment is the reduction of mankind to clockwork. In its atmosphere all those finer and more delicate liberties, which require treatment and spacious expansion, inevitably dry up and perish. The State requires a taxpaying machine in which there is no hitch, an exchequer in which there is never a deficit, and a public, monotonous, obedient, colorless, spiritless, moving humbly like a flock of sheep along a straight high road between two walls.” TwoStatesGovernmentMovingQualityLibertyMankindWallDemandHighestMachinesAimFilledAtmosphereDryTreatmentDelicateSheepExpansionDeficitAttainmentReductionObedientFlocksMonotonousClockworkHigh RoadDry UpColorless Author:Ouida
