Famous quotes containing the words open, government and/or records:

    And now that the end is near
    The segments of the trip swing open like an orange.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    If government knew how, I should like to see it check, not multiply, the population. When it reaches its true law of action, every man that is born will be hailed as essential.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.
    Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
