Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.

We have the best government that money can buy.

The government is merely a servant―merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

Governments not only are not necessary, but are harmful and most highly immoral institutions.

It is a bad thing to perform menial duties even for the sake of freedom; to fight with pinpricks, instead of with clubs. I have become tired of hypocrisy, stupidity, gross arbitrariness, and of our bowing and scraping, dodging, and hair-splitting over words. Consequently, the government has given me back my freedom.
