Famous quotes containing the word governments:
“Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“There is something that Governments care for far more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.... Be militant each in your own way.... I incite this meeting to rebellion.”
—Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
