Free State

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or state:

“A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy ... is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

“Texas is a heaven for men and dogs but hell for women and oxen.”
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
