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

Its too bad that TJ also said:
A Government large enough to give you everything, is big enough to take it all away

Here are some other quotes from TJ:

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. "

"The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force. "

"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. "
