Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or role:
“But an old age serene and bright,
And lovely as a Lapland night,
Shall lead thee to thy grave.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“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)
