Famous quotes containing the word government:
“A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”

“No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it.... There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
