Government Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Government

1.
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Nobody listens, then everybody disagrees.
Marshalov, Boris

2.
Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
Mencken, H. L.

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

4.
After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.
Fred Thompson

5.
The ship of state is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.
Reston, James

6.
For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.
Bob Wells

7.
Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.
Kocher, Gerhard

8.
If you join government, calmly make your contribution and move on. Don't go along to get along; do your best and when you have to -- and you will -- leave, and be something else.
Noonan, Peggy

9.
There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the money touch, but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
Roosevelt, Theodore

10.
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Ford, Gerald R.

11.
The point to remember is what government gives it must first take away
Caldwell, John S.

12.
It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most.
Lippmann, Walter

13.
I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
Updike, John

14.
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
Gladstone, William E.

15.
To govern is to choose. To appear to be unable to choose is to appear to be unable to govern.
Lawson, Nigel

16.
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

17.
That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.
Pittacus

18.
It is easy to rule over the good.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

19.
To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.
Mirabeau, Comte De

20.
All good government must begin at home.
Haweis, H. R.

21.
You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.
Limbaugh, Rush

22.
An educated people can be easily governed.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

23.
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
Burns, George

24.
A government is the only vessel that leaks from the top.
Reston, James

25.
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
Crockett, Davy

26.
I don't judge a regime by the damning criticism of the opposition, but by the ingenuous praise of the partisan.
Rostand, Jean

27.
Safety of the state is the highest law.
Justinian

28.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
Voltaire

29.
In quiet and untroubled times it seems to every administrator that it is only by his efforts that the whole population under his rule is kept going, and in this consciousness of being indispensable every administrator finds the chief reward of his labor and efforts. While the sea of history remains calm the ruler-administrator in his frail bark, holding on with a boat hook to the ship of the people and himself moving, naturally imagines that his efforts move the ship he is holding on to. But as soon as a storm arises and the sea begins to heave and the ship to move, such a delusion is no longer possible. The ship moves independently with its own enormous motion, the boat hook no longer reaches the moving vessel, and suddenly the administrator, instead of appearing a ruler and a source of power, becomes an insignificant, useless, feeble man.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

30.
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Murray, Bill

31.
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time.
Churchill, Winston

32.
Government can be bigger than any of the players on the field as a referee, but it has no right to become one of the players.
Igleheart, Austin

33.
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Gardner, John W.

34.
In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.
Einstein, Albert

35.
We must judge a government by its general tendencies and not by its happy accidents.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

36.
Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.
Hamilton, Alexander

37.
Generosity is a part of my character, and I therefore hasten to assure this Government that I will never make an allegation of dishonesty against it wherever a simple explanation of stupidity will suffice.
Lever, Leslie Baron

38.
We have the best government that money can buy.
Twain, Mark

39.
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

40.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Voltaire

41.
Public instruction should be the first object of government.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

42.
It is doubtful that the government knows much more than the public does about how government [Economic] policies will work.
Wallis, W. Allen

43.
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

44.
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
Jefferson, Thomas

45.
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

46.
The government is us; we are the government, you and I.
Roosevelt, Theodore

47.
The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.
Shaw, George Bernard

48.
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

49.
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

50.
The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.
Melbourne, Lord
