Government Compulsion

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or compulsion:

“Our domestic problems are for the most part economic. We have our enormous debt to pay, and we are paying it. We have the high cost of government to diminish, and we are diminishing it. We have a heavy burden of taxation to reduce, and we are reducing it. But while remarkable progress has been made in these directions, the work is yet far from accomplished.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

“Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind.”
