Famous quotes containing the words government and/or actions:

    “[In government] the problem to be solved is, not what form of government is perfect, but which of the forms is least imperfect.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
