Best Quotes about Government
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
Burns, George
All good government must begin at home.
Haweis, H. R.
An educated people can be easily governed.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)
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
Believe me - the Government will help you anytime it needs you.
Kocher, Gerhard
The art of government is not to let me grow stale.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
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
The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.
Friedman, Milton
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
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.
Jackson, Andrew
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.
Crockett, Davy
Truth is the glue that holds government together.
Ford, Gerald R.
Beaverbrook is so pleased to be in the government that he is like the town tart who finally married the Mayor.
Baxter, Beverley
Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.
Hume, David
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
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate government action.
Russell, Bertrand
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
Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. Nixon
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
The constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.
Douglas, William O.
The ship of state is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.
Reston, James
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action.
Bertrand Russell
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
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
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
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Gardner, John W.
It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.
Melbourne, Lord
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
Good government is the outcome of private virtue.
Chapman, John Jay
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Reagan, Ronald
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
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
Any government is potentially the worst client in the world you could ever possibly want to have.
Thomas Heatherwick
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
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
In the councils of a state, the question is not so much, what ought to be done? As, what can be done?
Proverb, French
Safety of the state is the highest law.
Justinian
The auditor is a watchdog and not a bloodhound.
Topes, Lord Justice
You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.
Limbaugh, Rush
Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
Truman, Harry S
Our Congress is the finest body of men money can buy.
Amsterdam, Maury
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.
Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
Jefferson, Thomas
That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.
Pittacus
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
Any cook should be able to run the country.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
It is doubtful that the government knows much more than the public does about how government [Economic] policies will work.
Wallis, W. Allen
