Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “What shall we think of a government to which all the truly brave and just men in the land are enemies, standing between it and those whom it oppresses? A government that pretends to be Christian and crucifies a million Christs every day!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
