Famous quotes containing the word government:
“It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.”

“The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“What is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
