Government can be bigger than any of the players on the field as a referee, but it has no right to become one of the players.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of government's role in society. It suggests that while government can assume the role of a referee, regulating and overseeing various activities, it should never cross the line and actively participate as one of the players. In other words, government should ensure a fair and unbiased playing field, but it must refrain from taking sides or participating in ways that might compromise the integrity and impartiality required for effective governance. This quote reminds us of the need for governments to maintain their neutrality and avoid any conflicts of interest.
