Word Declaration

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or declaration:

“And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.”

“The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
