Famous quotes containing the words states, government and/or printing:
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives!”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
“It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
