Famous quotes containing the words government and/or led:
“I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You who led me by the nose,
I saw you as you were.
Then I thought of your body
as one thinks of murder . . .”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
