Government Quotes

People in government and public life are being kicked around at a high rate of speed Picture Quote #1

There is nothing anyone can do anyway. The public has no power. The government knows I'm not a criminal. The parole board knows I'm not a criminal. The judge knows I'm not a criminal Picture Quote #1

The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the government, government should not support the people Picture Quote #1

Instead of the function of governing, for which it is radically unfit, the proper office of a representative assembly is to watch and control the government Picture Quote #1

When the people are too much attached to savage independence, to be tolerant of the amount of power to which it is for their good that they should be subject, the state of society is not yet ripe for representative government Picture Quote #1

The bringing about of order is the first and fundamental task of government. We accept limits on our rights for the sake of a larger social compact all the time Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed my stay in the Congress. Most people do not. And too many people who have been elected really don't understand the nature of government Picture Quote #1

A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the dominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, an aristocracy, or a majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body Picture Quote #1

Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improvement Picture Quote #1

I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government Picture Quote #1

The United States is no more a Christian nation because most of it's citizens are Christians than it is a 'white' nation because most of it's citizens are white. We are Americans because we practice democracy and believe in republican government, not because we practice revealed religion and believe in Bible-based government Picture Quote #1

Defect of manners, want of government, pride, haughtiness, opinion, and disdain; the least of which, haunting a nobleman, loseth men's hearts, and leaves behind a stain upon the beauty of all parts besides; beguiling them of commendation Picture Quote #1

To think that because those who wield power in society wield in the end that of government, therefore it is of no use to attempt to influence the constitution of the government by acting on opinion, is to forget that opinion is itself one of the greatest active social forces. One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests Picture Quote #1

The natural tendency of representative government, as of modern civilisation, is towards collective mediocrity: and this tendency is increased by all reductions and extensions of the franchise, their effect being to place the principal power in the hands of classes more and more below the highest level of instruction in the community Picture Quote #1

In all the more advanced communities the great majority of things are worse done by the intervention of government than the individuals most interested in the matter would do them, or cause them to be done, if left to themselves Picture Quote #1

A government with all this mass of favours to give or to withhold, however free in name, wields a power of bribery scarcely surpassed by an avowed autocracy, rendering it master of the elections in almost any circumstances but those of rare and extraordinary public excitement Picture Quote #1

In it's narrowest acceptation, order means obedience. A government is said to preserve order if it succeeds in getting itself obeyed Picture Quote #1

Neither Johnson nor his party nor the government as a whole were willing to raise, train, equip, and then send Vietnam sufficient manpower to do the job Picture Quote #1

For me, journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies, to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government Picture Quote #1

If the government fails to listen to your demands, then you will decide what is best for you Picture Quote #1

Open the way before the new government to prove that it is for serving the people Picture Quote #1

You know, we have three branches of government. We have a House. We have a Senate. We have a President Picture Quote #1

When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that it's errors are their errors, it's aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it Picture Quote #1

The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness Picture Quote #1

One of the little-celebrated powers of Presidents (and other high government officials) is to listen to their critics with just enough sympathy to ensure their silence Picture Quote #1

There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums Picture Quote #1

In numerous years following the war, the Federal Government ran a heavy surplus. It could not (however) pay off it's debt, retire it's securities, because to do so meant there would be no bonds to back the national bank notes. To pay off the debt was to destroy the money supply Picture Quote #1

We've got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed Picture Quote #1

I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, 'I'm in favor of privatization,' or, 'I'm deeply in favor of public ownership.' I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case Picture Quote #1

Rarely in modern times has there been such a revolution in commercial sentiment as occurred in 2008, or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness Picture Quote #1
