Government Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Government

1.
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
Burns, George

Lever, Leslie Baron

3.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
Voltaire

4.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Jefferson, Thomas

5.
Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.
Solon

6.
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

7.
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

8.
We have the best government that money can buy.
Twain, Mark

A man without a vote is man without protection.

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

Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.
Updike, John

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

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

15.
That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.
Pittacus

16.
Governments need to have both shepherds and butchers.
Voltaire

17.
The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

18.
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

19.
Beaverbrook is so pleased to be in the government that he is like the town tart who finally married the Mayor.
Baxter, Beverley

The whole country is one vast insane asylum and they're letting the worst patients run the place.
Welch, Robert

21.

Melbourne, Lord

22.

Jefferson, Thomas

23.
Do not ask what the Government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't.
Kocher, Gerhard

24.
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate government action.
Russell, Bertrand

25.
Of all tasks of government the most basic is to protect its citizens against violence.
Dulles, John Foster

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The monarchy is a labor intensive industry.
Wilson, Harold

30.
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

31.
The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

32.
Safety of the state is the highest law.
Justinian

33.
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

34.
The body politic, as well as the human body, begins to die as soon as it is born, and carries itself the causes of its destruction.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

35.
I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
Updike, John

36.
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
Crockett, Davy

37.
The point to remember is what government gives it must first take away
Caldwell, John S.

38.
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

39.
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

40.
The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.
Themistocles

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.
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

Amsterdam, Maury

44.
It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

45.
What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
Madison, James

46.
The basis of effective government is public confidence.
Kennedy, John F.

47.
For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.
Bob Wells

48.

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