The righteous ruler has nothing to hide.

They (the government) are unfazed by any amount of travesty, loss, tragedy, death, and destruction.

Government should be set up so that no man need be afraid of another.

The more honest you are, the more open, the less fear you will have, because there's no anxiety about being exposed or revealed to others.

The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.

The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government.

...he who does nothing fears nothing. I have no reason to hide, why hide?

The political argument that we get here all the time is if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

On close inspection, we shall find that religion, and not fear, has ever been the cause of the long-lived prosperity of an absolute government.

Innocence has nothing to dread.

While I believe government should be as transparent as possible, I also believe people deserve to live free of fear or harassment.

"Nothing to hide" only works if the folks in power share the values of you and everyone you know entirely, and always will.

In countries where the government and political environment is honest, generally you will find that the people are honest, law abiding and helpful. And the reverse is true too. In a corrupt environment, an honest person has a hard time, whereas in an honest environment, a corrupt person has a tough time.

I have nothing to hide.
