Quote by Cyril Northcote Parkinson about Bureaucracy

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand." Milton Friedman

"Though it is disguised by the illusion that a bureaucracy accountable to a majority of voters, and susceptible to the pressure of organized minorities, is not exercising compulsion, it is evident that the more varied and comprehensive the regulation becomes, the more the state becomes a despotic power as against the individual. For the fragment of control over the government which he exercises through his vote is in no effective sense proportionate to the authority exercised over him by the government." Walter Lippmann
