Government Quotes by THOMAS JEFFERSON-1515863504

Government Quotes by RUSSELL B. LONG-1515856127
Democracy is like a raft: It won't sink, but you will always have your feet wet.
Government Quotes by QUOTED BY THOMAS CLIFFORD-1515835450
It's every American's duty to support his government, but not necessarily in the style to which it has become accustomed.
Government Quotes by WOODROW WILSON-1515833969
No nation is fit to set in judgment upon any other nation.
Government Quotes by WILLIAM A. NISKANEN-1515827477
Our government has become too responsive to trivial or ephemeral concerns, often at the expense of more important concerns or an erosion of our liberty, and it has made policy priorities more dependent on where TV journalists happen to point their cameras.... As a nation we have lost our sense of tragedy, a recognition that bad things happen to good people. A nation that expects the government to prevent churches from burning, to control the price of bread or gasoline, to secure every job, and to find some villain for every dramatic accident, risks an even larger loss of life and liberty.
Government Quotes by CULLEN HIGHTOWER-1515824524
The mistakes made by Congress wouldn't be so bad if the next Congress didn't keep trying to correct them.
Government Quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1515815456

Government Quotes by MARTIN H. FISCHER-1515814245
Morphine and state relief are the same. You go dopey, feel better and are worse off.

Government Quotes by JOHN GARDNER-1515747779
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Government Quotes by ROBERT M. HUTCHINS-1515689058
The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
Government Quotes by CHARLES DE GAULLE-1515664794
Treaties are like roses and young girls - they last while they last.
Government Quotes by THEODORE FORSTMANN-1515663302
In a state-run society the government promises you security. But it's a false promise predicated on the idea that the opposite of security is risk. Nothing could be further from the truth. The opposite of security is insecurity, and the only way to overcome insecurity is to take risks. The gentle government that promises to hold your hand as you cross the street refuses to let go on the other side.
Government Quotes by ALEXANDER CHASE-1515661801
When a machine begins to run without human aid, it is time to scrap it - whether it be a factory or a government.
Government Quotes by JAY LENO-1515660560
A survey says that American workers work the first three hours every day just to pay their taxes. So that's why we can't get anything done in the morning: We're government workers.
Government Quotes by JOHN PERRY BARLOW-1515658157
Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.
Government Quotes by CHARLES DE GAULLE-1515656616
How can one conceive of a one-party system in a country that has over two hundred varieties of cheese?
Government Quotes by WALTER H. JUDD-1515655285
People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.
Government Quotes by BARON DE MONTESQUIEU-1515653964
In the infancy of societies, the chiefs of the state shape its institutions; later the institutions shape the chiefs of state.
Government Quotes by MARTIN H. FISCHER-1515652554
Bureaus are extrusions from the body politic - they are pus.
Government Quotes by WILLIAM PENN-1515567187
Let the people think they govern, and they will be governed.
Government Quotes by BENJAMIN DISRAELI-1515565937
A Conservative government is an organised hypocrisy.
Government Quotes by LOUIS BRANDEIS-1515518657
The most important political office is that of the private citizen.
Government Quotes by TOM STOPPARD-1515515025
It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.
Government Quotes by HERBERT HOOVER-1515510499

Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

Government Quotes by SYDNEY J. HARRIS-1515477867
Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.
Government Quotes by RICHARD GOODWIN-1515476237

Government Quotes by HENRY WARD BEECHER-1515428871
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Government Quotes by ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT-1515421824
I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.
Government Quotes by MICHAEL NOVAK-1515346486
Our political institutions work remarkably well. They are designed to clang against each other. The noise is democracy at work.
Government Quotes by BORIS MARSHALOV-1515344763
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens - and then everybody disagrees.
Government Quotes by WILL ROGERS-1515343543
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Government Quotes by GEORGE WILL-1515340888
If you want to understand your government, don't begin by reading the Constitution. (It conveys precious little of the flavor of today's statecraft.) Instead, read selected portions of the Washington telephone directory containing listings for all the organizations with titles beginning with the word National.
Government Quotes by WILL ROGERS-1515336323
