“The great misfortune is that a notion obtains with those in power that the world, or the people, require more governing than is necessary. To govern well is a great science, but no country is ever improved by too much governing. Govern wisely, and as little as possible. Most men think when they are elevated to position that it requires an effort to discharge their duties and they leave common sense out of the question.”
~ Sam Houston, President of Republic of Texas 1836-1838 & 1841-1844, US Senator for Texas 1846-59, Governor of Texas 1859-1861
