Concerned Citizens

Famous quotes containing the words concerned and/or citizens:

“It must have looked as if the course
He steered was really straight away
From that which he was headed for
Not much concerned for them, I say;
No more so than became a man
And politician at odd seasons.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit.... A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
