Famous quotes containing the words government and, government, politics and/or france:

    “I don’t know jokes; I just watch the government and report the facts.”
    —Will Rogers (1879–1935)

    “We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In politics if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.”
    —Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    “If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
