Text Quotes
The heart of government, coated with whatever velvet gloves you want to put on it, is a mailed fist of force and coercion  (Government Quotes) The minority must have involvement in society. You can have different cultural practices that you accept. But if you are going to adopt democracy in government, then the government itself must allow the minority to be heard  (Government Quotes) The scandalous question that hangs over modern government and excites perpetual outrage is about political money and what it buys. What exactly do these contributors get in return for the hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars they funnel to the politicians?  (Government Quotes) Virtue alone is not sufficient for the exercise of government; laws alone cannot carry themselves into practice  (Government Quotes) Democracy is not an easy form of government, because it is never final; it is a living, changing organism, with a continuous shifting and adjusting of balance between individual freedom and general order  (Government Quotes) Men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them particularly unfit for the task of government... Man’s place is in the armory  (Government Quotes) The will of the entire people is the true basis of republican government, and a free expression... by the public vote of all citizens, without distinctions of race, color, occupation, or sex, is the only means by which that will can be ascertained  (Government Quotes) Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure... they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it  (Government Quotes) Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government  (Government Quotes) The greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war  (Government Quotes) The most powerful force possessed by the individual citizen is her own government... Government is the only organized mechanism that makes possible that level of shared disinterest known as the public good  (Government Quotes) Oh, it were better to be a poor fisherman than to meddle with the government of men  (Government Quotes) No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue  (Government Quotes) All good government must begin at home. It is useless to make good laws for bad people; what is wanted is this, to subdue the tyranny of the human heart  (Government Quotes) The taxes of government are heavy enough, but not so heavy as the taxes we lay upon ourselves  (Government Quotes) No government can be free that does not allow all its citizens to participate in the formation and execution of her laws  (Government Quotes) The government of man should be the monarchy of reason: it is too often the democracy of passions or the anarchy of humors  (Government Quotes) We’re adults. We’re the ones who should teach the kids what’s good to eat. I don’t think the government should ever regulate what we eat at home, but we’re feeding them in school with tax dollars. Quite frankly, if my tax dollars are being spent to feed kids, I’d rather feed them better food  (Government Quotes) I’m being driven crazy by people who are obsessed with limiting the scope of government, but feel perfectly free to demand that government get involved in women’s most personal choices  (Government Quotes) If you live in a place that you perceive to be a crowded place, you appreciate government; you see it as this thing that protects you against crime, that keeps order, that makes sure that nobody puts a massage parlor next to your house, that keeps other people’s dogs from pooping on the sidewalk  (Government Quotes) You know, I really miss sex scandals. They’re generally colorful. They almost never mean anything over the long run. And while they’re going on, the people who actually keep the government running are let alone to go about their business. Good old sex scandals  (Government Quotes) One of the specific powers and responsibilities of the federal government is to secure the borders. Property can be taken with due process of law and just compensation  (Government Quotes) My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I’m killing somebody  (Government Quotes) We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization  (Government Quotes) You can’t do progressive government from the inside. You have to rally those outsiders and make them a force  (Government Quotes) In the real estate business you learn more about people, and you learn more about community issues, you learn more about life, you learn more about the impact of government, probably than any other profession that I know of  (Government Quotes) Governments take too long to get things done and there are far too many varied interests at stake. If you were starting a business today and needed a partner, you would never choose a large bureaucratic institution like the government  (Government Quotes) After lengthy consideration, my views have evolved sufficiently to support marriage equality legislation. This position doesn’t require any religious denomination to alter any of its tenets; it simply forbids government from discrimination regarding who can marry whom  (Government Quotes) If you’re an old pro, you know how well you’re doing when you’re doing it, and your inner government spanks you if you’re not doing well  (Government Quotes) You can study government and politics in school, but the best way to really understand the process is to volunteer your time  (Government Quotes)
