Govern Quotes (page 102)

Our troops are committed to bringing security to Iraq while its government matures. American forces will continue to accomplish their mission with caution, precision and honor with the thanks of a grateful nation. Mike Fitzpatrick
Helen Suzman quote: "All these stories are grist to the mill of the government..."
All these stories are grist to the mill of the government because they build up a very useful war psychosis. Helen Suzman
U.S. journalists I don't think are very courageous. They tend to go along with the government's policy domestically and internationally. To question is seen as being unpatriotic, or potentially subversive. Robert Fisk
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush's ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government. Donald Sutherland
No, I'm not rich. I had a tax problem in this country, curiously enough, and my accountant said the British government was patently wrong in taxing me, and they were, but we couldn't persuade them and it cost me everything I had. Donald Sutherland
What person here illegally (and in his right mind), will go to the government, announce being here illegally (e. g. plead guilty), provide all sorts of information as to where that person lives etc. to get a work permit only to be a target for deportation in two years? Greta Van Susteren
The fact is that in a way, journalists become a kind of default in the system when you don't have substantive two-party back-and-forth inside of the government. Ron Suskind
John Sununu quote: "The American formula for creating business is not to have the..."
The American formula for creating business is not to have the government create business. John Sununu
It's counterintuitive, but the most divisive arrangement is when the same party controls both Congress and the presidency, a situation encountered in eight of the past 10 years. With government unified under a single party, the minority has the least possible incentive to cooperate with the majority. John Sununu
For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it's where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week. John Sununu
There's a big difference between the role of an academic and the role of someone in government. That's a cliche, but in academic life if you say things that are common sense and people nod their heads, it's not very useful. You're not adding anything. Cass Sunstein
Democrats want to use government power to make people's lives go better; Republicans respond that people know more than politicians do. We think that both might be able to agree that nudging can maintain free markets, and liberty, while also inclining people in good directions. Cass Sunstein
Lawrence Summers quote: "You can't have a situation in which companies proceed on a..."
You can't have a situation in which companies proceed on a permanent basis relying only on cash from the government. Lawrence Summers
But ultimately what I was impressed by during my years in government was how much the intellectual climate and the prevailing intellectual notions constrained and represented the universe within which the discourse took place. Lawrence Summers
A transitional government is the beginning of a transfer of sovereignty. It's a question of Iraqi security and moving forward with the political process. Joschka Fischer
