Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or body:

    “In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “I—love’s skein upon the ground,
    My body in the tomb—
    Shall leap into the light lost
    In my mother’s womb.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
