Prescribed Natural

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 as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
