Famous quotes containing the words government and/or regulation:

    In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.
    Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
