Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or government:

    Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human being in times of trouble.
    Chinese proverb.

    And having looked to government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them. To avoid that evil, government will redouble the causes of it; and then it will become inveterate and incurable.
