Michel de Montaigne quote: "Not being able to govern events, I govern myself."
Not being able to govern events, I govern myself. Michel de Montaigne
What is good about the United States is the sense that you can disagree with the government and not be seen as unpatriotic, although many in the government will try to make you seem unpatriotic. George J. Mitchell
But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy. So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view. Joe Miller
Every American knows there are government expenses that are absolutely not necessary. I disagree with the very idea that our government is spending $2.4 trillion in the most efficient manner. Jeff Miller
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. H. L. Mencken
Golda Meir quote: "I must govern the clock, not be governed by it."
I must govern the clock, not be governed by it. Golda Meir

I had furthermore spoken on the assumption that Russia would mobilize, whereas the assumption of the German Government had hitherto been, officially, that Serbia would receive no support; and what I had said must influence the German Government to take the matter seriously. Edward Grey
It's been said that government doesn't create jobs, business does. For the most part, this is true. But government creates the environment in which businesses can excel and expand. Christine Gregoire
It's that Romney is taking advantage of the government's 'free stuff,' too, and has been profiting from it handsomely for a long, long time - even as he rails about the 'free stuff' that the government provides other people. Jennifer Granholm
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to..."
Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves."
The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My book is focused on the power of the American state, not least because the government of the United States governs so much that the case could be made that everybody around the world ought to have a vote in determining some of its policies. Todd Gitlin
Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government. Newt Gingrich
