Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Good government is the outcome of private virtue.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
