Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
