Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.
    Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)

    In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
