Famous quotes containing the word rulers:

    “The government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought- free, fancy-free, imagination-free ... unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “They lived under a just and moderate government, and they admitted that one bond of their fidelity was that their rulers were the better men.”
    —Titus Livius (Livy)

    “Women and negroes, being seven-twelfths of the people, are a majority; and according to our republican theory, are the rightful rulers of the nation.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
