Famous quotes containing the word bureaucracy:
“The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.”
—Eugene J. McCarthy (b. 1916)
“If you’re going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy; God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won’t.”
—Hyman G. Rickover (1900–1986)
“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)
