A government of the people by the people. The best government of this sort is that which the people think best  (Free Government Quotes) It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it  (Free Government Quotes) It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government  (Free Government Quotes) The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation  (Free Government Quotes) There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty  (Free Government Quotes) When you return to your homes rise up to the height of a generation of men worthy of a free Government, and we will carry out the great work we have commenced.

And one certain proof that a government is not free, is that it coerces more or less persons to support it, against their will  (Free Government Quotes) When more of the people’s sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and expenses of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of free government  (Free Government Quotes) No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue  (Free Government Quotes) One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offence to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the militia. The friends of a free government cannot be too watchful, to overcome the dangerous tendency of the public mind to sacrifice, for the sake of mere private convenience, this powerful check upon the designs of ambitious men  (Free Government Quotes) That no free government, nor the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles; and by the recognition by all citizens that they have duties as well as rights, and that such rights cannot be enjoyed save in a society where law is respected and due process is observed  (Free Government Quotes) God knows that I detest slavery, but it is an existing evil, for which we are not responsible, and we must endure it, till we can get rid of it without destroying the last hope of free government in the world  (Free Government Quotes) Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law. It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also  (Free Government Quotes) In a despotic government, the only principle by which the tyrant who is to move the whole machine means to regulate and manage the people is fear, by the servile dread of his power.

In fact, free and candid discussion of vexing problems is the bedrock of democracy and it may be our surest safeguard for peace  (Free Government Quotes) The object of every free government is the public good, and all lesser interests yield to it. That of every tyrannical government, is the happiness and aggrandizement of one, or a few, and to this the public felicity, and every other interest must submit  (Free Government Quotes) In a free government almost all other rights would become worthless if the government possessed power over the private fortune of every citizen  (Free Government Quotes) If it was wise, manly, and patriotic for us to establish a free government, it is equally wise to attend to the necessary means of its preservation  (Free Government Quotes) We can not have free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us  (Free Government Quotes) Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy, and not confidence, which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power  (Free Government Quotes)
