Famous quotes containing the word government:

    “The government is not God. It does not have the right to take away that which it can’t return even if it wants to.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    “... the happiness of a people is the only rational object of government, and the only object for which a people, free to choose, can have a government at all.”
