Famous quotes containing the words state and/or legislation:

    “An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen; but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)
