Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “It does seem strange that the only place in the government which I would have liked to fill myself I am forced to give to another.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “In using the strong hand, as now compelled to do, the government has a difficult duty to perform. At the very best, it will by turns do both too little and too much. It can properly have no motive of revenge, no purpose to punish merely for punishment’s sake. While we must, by all available means, prevent the overthrow of the government, we should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
