"No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will." ― Thomas Jefferson Topic(s): Government Tags: government, ought More From Thomas Jefferson "Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very fast." "Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital." "Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government." More In Government "No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men."― Thomas Carlyle "Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it."― Woodrow Wilson "All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays… a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same."― Jesse Ventura
