Famous quotes containing the words governmental and/or activities:
“Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two [good and evil].”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
