Famous quotes containing the words government and/or politics:

    “I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government rather than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
    —Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
