Famous quotes containing the words prescribed and/or natural:
“The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
