Held Individual

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or individual:

    Victory comes late—
    And is held low to freezing lips—
    Too rapt with frost
    To take it—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
