Government Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Government

1.
Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
Einstein, Albert

2.
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Bastiat, Frederic

3.
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Murray, Bill

4.
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

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

7.
In the councils of a state, the question is not so much, what ought to be done? As, what can be done?
Proverb, French

8.
The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life -- this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.
O'Rourke, P. J.

9.
Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
Balzac, Honore De

10.
Public instruction should be the first object of government.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

11.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Reagan, Ronald

12.
We have the best government that money can buy.
Twain, Mark

13.
Believe me - the Government will help you anytime it needs you.
Kocher, Gerhard

14.
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
Jackson, Andrew

15.
It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But, there is no alternative to the state.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

16.
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

17.
Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.
Locke, John

18.
Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.
Herbert, A. P.

19.
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.

20.
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

21.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Reagan, Ronald

22.
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

23.
We must judge a government by its general tendencies and not by its happy accidents.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

24.
Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.
Kocher, Gerhard

25.
To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

26.
For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.
Bob Wells

27.
The greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war.
Hospers, John

28.
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

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Government is not reason and it is not eloquence. It is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
Washington, George

32.
The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

33.
Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. Nixon

34.
To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.
Mirabeau, Comte De

35.
No man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest; yet everyone thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades, that of government.
Socrates

36.
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
Jefferson, Thomas

37.
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

38.
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.
Jefferson, Thomas

39.
No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.
Tuchman, Barbara

40.
All good government must begin at home.
Haweis, H. R.

41.
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. [The Motto Of The U.S. Postal Service]
Herodotus

42.
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

43.
No government is safe unless fortified by goodwill.
Nepos, Cornelius

44.
I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.
H. L. Mencken

45.
Large legislative bodies resolve themselves into coteries, and coteries into jealousies.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

46.
Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
Reagan, Ronald

47.
It is function of government to invent philosophies to explain the demands of its own convenience.

But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots.

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

50.
The worst thing in the world next to anarchy, is government.
Beecher, Henry Ward
