Famous quotes containing the words government and/or relations:
“Any man knows when he is justified, and all the wits in the world cannot enlighten him on that point. The murderer always knows that he is justly punished; but when a government takes the life of a man without the consent of his conscience, it is an audacious government, and is taking a step towards its own dissolution.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.”
—Clarissa Graves (1892–1985?)
