Famous quotes containing the word government:
“The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“A government of laws, and not of men.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives!”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
