Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “[In government] the problem to be solved is, not what form of government is perfect, but which of the forms is least imperfect.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
