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)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
