Stevens Government

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or government:

“The earth is not earth but a stone,
Not the mother that held men as they fell
But stone, but like a stone, no: not
The mother, but an oppressor, but like
An oppressor that grudges them their death,
As it grudges the living that they live.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.”
