Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or body:

    “We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    “I thought no more was needed
    Youth to prolong
    Than dumb-bell and foil
    To keep the body young.
    O who could have foretold
    That the heart grows old?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
