Glorious Excess

Famous quotes containing the words glorious and/or excess:

    I was thewed like an Auroch bull,
    And tusked like the great Cave Bear;
    And you, my sweet, from head to feet,
    Were gowned in your glorious hair.
    Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    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)
