Famous quotes containing the words prescribed and/or time:
“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)
“People who don’t know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
