"Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles." ― Woodrow Wilson Topic(s): Government More From Woodrow Wilson "If you want to make enemies, try to change something." "Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose." "A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt." More In Government "I had the privilege of practicing medicine in the early ’60s, before we had any government. It worked rather well, and there was nobody on the street suffering with no medical care."― Ron Paul "For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it’s where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week."― John Sununu "There is nothing inherently fair about equalizing incomes. If the government penalizes you for working harder than somebody else, that is unfair. If you save your money but retire with the same pension as a free-spending neighbor, that is also unfair."― Arthur C. Brooks
