Commonly Prescribed

Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or prescribed:

“Men do not fail commonly for want of knowledge, but for want of prudence to give wisdom the preference.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
