Famous quotes containing the words qing, government and/or title:

    There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.
    —Jiang Qing (1914–1991)

    The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    A familiar name cannot make a man less strange to me. It may be given to a savage who retains in secret his own wild title earned in the woods. We have a wild savage in us, and a savage name is perchance somewhere recorded as ours.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
