Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “I do not hesitate to say, that those who call themselves Abolitionists should at once effectually withdraw their support, both in person and property, from the government of Massachusetts, and not wait until they constitute a majority of one, before they suffer the right to prevail through them. I think that it is enough if they have God on their side, without waiting for that other one. Moreover, any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ““A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
