Civil Servants

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or servants:

“Just what is the civil law?

—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

“The thing that is most interesting about government servants is that they believe what they are supposed to believe, they really do believe what they are supposed to believe.”
