Famous quotes containing the word government:
“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
