Famous quotes containing the word government:
“I heartily accept the motto, That government is best which governs least; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,That government is best which governs not at all; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
