Warrant/government

Famous quotes containing the words warrant and/or government:

“Sometimes, when I compare myself with other men, it seems as if I were more favored by the gods than they, beyond any deserts that I am conscious of; as if I had a warrant and surety at their hands which my fellows have not, and were especially guided and guarded. I do not flatter myself, but if it be possible they flatter me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
