I think Mr Jefferson makes all the points of my position so much better than I can. these are the ones I can think of right off the top of my head.

The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.- Thomas Jefferson

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. - Thomas Jefferson

Most bad government has grown out of too much government. - Thomas Jefferson

I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.- Thomas Jefferson

I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.- Thomas Jefferson

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.- Thomas Jefferson

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson

A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate. - Thomas Jefferson
