Government, in the last analysis, is organized opinion. Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.... [The organized moneyed people] are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.... I should like to have it said of my second administration that these forces met their master.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The most powerful force possessed by the individual citizen is her own government. ... Government is the only organized mechanism that makes possible that level of shared disinterest known as the public good.

John Ralston Saul

Government is frequently and aptly classed under two descriptions-a government of force, and a government of laws; the first is the definition of despotism-the last, of liberty.

Alexander Hamilton

The distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force.

Albert Einstein

We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Why does corruption in government always surprise us? Why do we expect anything else from it? Government is organized force. It takes our wealth and makes war. And we think honest men would do that work?

Joseph Sobran

Law is justice. In this proposition a simple and enduring government can be conceived. And I defy anyone to say how even the thought of revolution, of insurrection, of the slightest uprising could arise against a government whose organized force was confined only to suppressing injustice.

Frederic Bastiat

The only countervailing force against organized money at the top, is organized people at the bottom.

Cornel West

The primary wisdom is intuition. In that deep force, the last fact behind which analysis cannot go, all things find their origin.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It must always be remembered that all laws are naturally and inevitably evolved by the strongest force in a community, and in the last analysis made for the protection of the dominant class.

Clarence Darrow

What is this thing we call government? Is it anything but organized violence? The law orders you to obey, and if you don't obey, it will compel you by force - all governments, all law and authority finally rest on force and violence, on punishment or fear of punishment.

Alexander Berkman

In the last analysis, my fellow country men, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.

Woodrow Wilson

Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.

John Updike

The students I've been with these twenty years are looking for a world where it becomes a little easier to love and a lot harder to hate, where learning nonviolence means that we dedicate our hearts, minds, time, and money to a commitment that the force of love, the force of truth, the force of justice, and the force of organized resistance to corrupt power are seen as sane and the force of fists, guns, armies, and bombs insane.

Colman McCarthy

A small group is powerful in matters relating to a particular industry, because then it is normally the only organized force, but it is less formidable when questions which divide the entire nation are involved, for then it must take on organized labor and other large organized groups. The business community in the aggregate is for this reason not uniquely effective as a pressure group.
