Government

Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved -- commitment to a scenario.
- Baudrillard, Jean
Government Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Government

1.
Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.
Thoreau, Henry David

2.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Reagan, Ronald

3.
The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.
Themistocles

4.
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.
Jefferson, Thomas

5.
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
John Kenneth Galbraith

6.
Thou camest out of thy mother's belly without government, thou hast liv'd hitherto without government, and thou mayst be carried to thy long home without government, when it shall please the Lord. How many people in this world live without government, yet do well enough, and are well look'd upon?
Cervantes, Miguel De

7.
So they [the Government] go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
Sir Winston Churchill

8.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Reagan, Ronald

9.
When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening, foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us.
President Barack Obama

10.
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

11.
The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

12.
In our consumer confidence surveys, we ask people whether they think government economic policy is good, fair, or poor. Increasingly, the answer we get is just plain laughter.
Schmiedeskamp, Jay

13.
Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved -- commitment to a scenario.
Baudrillard, Jean

14.
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Murray, Bill

15.
Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman

16.
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
Marshalov, Boris

17.
Any cook should be able to run the country.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

18.
The basis of effective government is public confidence.
Kennedy, John F.

19.
An ambassador is an honest person sent to lie abroad for their country.
Wotton, Sir Henry

20.
I say to myself that I mustn't let myself be cut off in there, and yet the moment I enter my bag is taken out of my hand, I'm pushed in, shepherded, nursed and above all cut off, alone. Whitehall envelops me.
Crossman, Richard

21.
Believe me - the Government will help you anytime it needs you.
Kocher, Gerhard

22.
To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.
Mirabeau, Comte De

23.
It is function of government to invent philosophies to explain the demands of its own convenience.
Kempton, Murray

24.
Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

25.
We have the best government that money can buy.
Twain, Mark

26.
A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.
Bismarck, Otto Von

27.
Of the best rulers, The people only know that they exist; the next best they love and praise the next they fear; and the next they revile. When they do not command the people's faith, some will lose faith in them, and then they resort to oaths! But of the best when their task is accomplished, their work done, the people all remark, We have done it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

28.
To govern is to choose. To appear to be unable to choose is to appear to be unable to govern.
Lawson, Nigel

29.
The mechanism that directs government cannot be virtuous, because it is impossible to thwart every crime, to protect oneself from every criminal without being criminal too; that which directs corrupt mankind must be corrupt itself; and it will never be by means of virtue, virtue being inert and passive, that you will maintain control over vice, which is ever active: the governor must be more energetic than the governed.
Sade, Marquis De

30.
Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.
Hume, David

31.
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Ford, Gerald R.

32.
The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
H. L. Mencken

33.
You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.
Limbaugh, Rush

34.
Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.
Jefferson, Thomas

35.
Governments need to have both shepherds and butchers.
Voltaire

36.
The art of government is not to let me grow stale.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

37.
Safety of the state is the highest law.
Justinian

38.
Not wishing to be disturbed over moral issues of the political economy, Americans cling to the notion that the government is a sort of automatic machine, regulated by the balancing of competing interests.
Mills, C. Wright

39.
What we should be asking is not whether we need a big government or small government, but how we can create a smarter and better government.
President Barack Obama

40.
The monarchy is a labor intensive industry.
Wilson, Harold

41.
But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots.
Bunting, Basil

42.
Our Congress is the finest body of men money can buy.
Amsterdam, Maury

43.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Jefferson, Thomas

44.
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate government action.
Russell, Bertrand

45.
Of all tasks of government the most basic is to protect its citizens against violence.
Dulles, John Foster

Franklin, Benjamin

47.
The worst thing in the world next to anarchy, is government.
Beecher, Henry Ward

Noonan, Peggy
