Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
