Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or government:

    “I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
    And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
    He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
    And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.”
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
