Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “There is, in fact, no law or government at all; and it is wonderful how well things go on without them.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
