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)

“A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
