    fearful master

    Disputed
    Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action. Attributed to "The First President of the United States" in "Liberty and Government" by W. M., in The Christian Science Journal, Vol. XX, No. 8 (November 1902) edited by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 465; no earlier or original source for this often quoted statement is cited, nor has such yet been found in research done for Wikiquote; later quoted in The Cry for Justice : An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest (1915) edited by Upton Sinclair, p. 305, from which it became far more widely quoted. George Seldes who initially included it in his Great Quotations (1966) cited to the Farewell Address, stated in the 1985 edition of the work that he had been informed that it is apocryphal.
    Unsourced variant : Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

    “That powerful servant but fearful master, fire” appears in James Fenimore Cooper’s THE DEERSLAYER (1841).
    “Government is force” was spoken by Kansas senator John James Ingalls in a widely reprinted interview with the New York (NY) SUNDAY WORLD in 1890.
