Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “The local snivels through the fields:
    I sit between felt-hatted mums....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
