Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “Chile consents to do all we can reasonably demand. My regret is that our Government blustered and bullied. President [Benjamin] Harrison argued in his message like a prosecutor—made the most of the case against our weak sister. Forbearance, charity, friendship, arbitration should have been in our words and thoughts.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
