When Thoreau says,"That government is best which governs least," he means that the government is best and most profitable when it presides over less. ... Because of this opinion, Thoreau came to the conclusion that the government is/can be abused before the people can willfully act through it.

Answer:
The phrase "that government is best of which governs least "is often credited to henry david thoreau,in his 1849"civil disobedience,"or"Resistance to civil government ."
Explanation:
(it's also sometime credited to thomas jefferson or john locke,but although it might capture well some of their thinking,to my knowledge it doesn't appear in their writings.)But thoreau was drawing on an existing,nearly identical phrase,"The best government is that which governs least";and he was doing it to actually argue for outright abolition of government rather than just small government..
