I have
mentioned it before (
twice, actually) as a quote I think would make a good motto, but I am now making it official. My blog now has a motto:
[T]he lesson
should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the
Government, the Government should not support the people. - Grover Cleveland
Granted, it is a bit wordy (though I trimmed it down considerably), wouldn't make a good t-shirt or bumper sticker, and being 122 years old makes me sound a bit behind the times, but, then again, since the last really good president we had was over a century ago, I had to go back that far to find an appropriate motto.
Sadly, I think that not just our current government, but many of our modern voters, would find my new motto completely alien to their way of thinking about government.
