Famous quotes containing the words politics and/or government:
“A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
—Maurice Johnstone (20th century)
“Chile consents to do all we can reasonably demand. My regret is that our Government blustered and bullied. President [Benjamin] Harrison argued in his message like a prosecutor—made the most of the case against our weak sister. Forbearance, charity, friendship, arbitration should have been in our words and thoughts.”
