Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or body:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
