Government Policy

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or policy:

“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Men must learn now with pity to dispense,
For policy sits above conscience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
