Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “How does it become a man to behave toward this American government to-day? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.”
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
