Famous quotes containing the words state and/or government:
“If kangaroos had no tails, they would topple over seems to me to mean something like this: in any possible state of affairs in which kangaroos have no tails, and which resembles our actual state of affairs as much as kangaroos having no tails permits it to, the kangaroos topple over.”
—David Lewis (b. 1941)
“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
