Famous quotes containing the words government and/or led:
“Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought—by force of circumstances, not argument—to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“A Dominie in Gray—
Put gently up the evening Bars—
And led the flock away—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
