Governance Quotes (page 66)

...badness is of the self, the one, the you or me on our oddy knockies, and that self is made by old Bog or God and is his great pride and radosty. But the not-self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self. Anthony Burgess
As human beings we govern our actions with our deepest fears. But if you name that shit, you claim that shit: let enough people into your closet and you'll find there's no more room for skeletons. Leave yourself nowhere to hide and you can live your life unguarded. Kevin Smith
John Grisham quote: "Privileged people don't march and protest; their world is safe..."
Privileged people don't march and protest; their world is safe and clean and governed by laws designed to keep them happy. John Grisham
Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts. Ron Paul
Today, as a result of the policy of Macmillan's Government, Great Britain presents in the United Nations the face of Pecksniff and in Katanga the face of Gradgrind. Conor Cruise O'Brien
Marguerite Yourcenar quote: "It is not that I despise men. If I did I should have no right,..."
It is not that I despise men. If I did I should have no right, and no reason, to try to govern. Marguerite Yourcenar
Having wallowed in a delightful orgy of anti-French sentiment, having deplored and applauded the villains themselves, having relished the foibles of bankers, railwaymen, diplomats, and police, the public was now ready to see its faith restored in the basic soundness of banks, railroads, government, and police. Michael Crichton
David Hume quote: "[R]evolutions of government cannot be effected by the mere..."
[R]evolutions of government cannot be effected by the mere force of argument and reasoning; David Hume
You take a straight tip from the stable, Cokey, if you must hate, hate the government or the people or the sea or men, but don't hate an individual person. Who's done you a real injury. Next thing you know he'll be getting into your beer like prussic acid; and blotting out your eyes like a cataract and screaming in your ears like a brain tumour and boiling round your heart like melted lead and ramping though your guts like a cancer. And a nice fool you'd look if he knew. It would make him... Joyce Cary
The Law of God was more vindicated by the death of Christ than it would have been had all transgressors been sent to hell. For the Son of God to suffer for in was a more glorious establishment of the government of God than for the whole race to suffer. Charles Spurgeon
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of... Dwight D. Eisenhower
Michael Moore quote: "A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an..."
A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom, morality, and humanity. Michael Moore
A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country? George Washington
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. Harry S. Truman
There has always been, and there is now, a profound conflict of interest between the people and the government of the United States. Howard Zinn
