Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government rather than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
