I am in favor of carrying out the Declaration of Independence to women as well as men. Women having to suffer the burdens of society and government should have their equal rights in it. They do not receive their rights in full proportion.
~ Leland Stanford
The men and women I work with in law enforcement deal with the consequences of the Democrats' selfish policies to encourage reliance on government, dependency instead of independence, and victimhood instead of the promise of earning your way to financial security.
~ David A. Clarke
My government has promised to comprehensively respect the independence of the judiciary.
~ Victor Ponta
In the Steven F. Austin Colony, which was the first colony, Texans first established a provisional government in 1835 with the intention of writing a declaration of independence soon after.
~ Michael Mccaul
A majority in all parties do, I think, want to see local government recover its old vigour and independence.
~ Ferdinand Mount
The ultimate end is a nation that lies under the concept of the Declaration of Indepen dence. The Declaration of Independence is such an extraordinary statement - it was designed by people skeptical of government, local or national, but in particular national.
~ Malcolm Wallop
I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.
~ Lloyd Bentsen
The pathological degree to which former Vice President Dick Cheney operated in secrecy led to government abuses that we'll probably spend years learning about.
~ Timothy Noah
It was gross enough for fast food restaurants to ban, but apparently our government wants so-called pink slime to be a staple in your kids' lunches.
~ Jane Velez-Mitchell
Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.
~ James Madison
Same-sex marriage is not the final nail in the coffin for traditional marriage. It is just another road sign toward the substitution of government for God. Every moral discussion now pits the wisest moral arbiters among us - the Supreme Court, President Obama - against traditional religion.
~ Ben Shapiro
I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap.
~ Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
By our form of government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed upon the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty.
~ Samuel Chase
I believe that a government has only one religion - India first. A government has only one holy book - our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion - towards nation.
~ Narendra Modi
Sadly, in the highest levels of economic thought in government, questions are not tolerated. It is as if we're dealing with the binary thinking of a fundamentalist religion.
~ Michael Burry
Where you have no religion, you are sure to have no government, for as religion disappears, anarchy takes place and fixes a compleat Hell on earth till religion returns.
~ Daniel Morgan
All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.
Neither the wording of the amendment itself nor common practice challenged the widely held belief that government guaranteed freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
~ Linda Chavez
I think the founding fathers believed religion shouldn't interact directly with government.
~ Jesse Ventura
You know what the fastest growing religion in America is? Statism. The growing reliance on government.
~ Marco Rubio
So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.
And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.
I believe that the Framers of the Constitution made their intent clear when they wrote the First Amendment. I believe they wanted to keep the new government from endorsing one religion over another, not erase the public consciousness or common faith.
~ Nick Rahall
In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.
~ Noah Webster
Open your newspaper - any day of the week - and you will find a report from somewhere in the world of someone being imprisoned, tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are unacceptable to his government.
~ Peter Benenson
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
~ Mark Twain
Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.
There'd never been a more advantageous time to be a criminal in America than during the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States - alcohol production - and just handed it to criminals - a pretty remarkable thing to do.
~ Bill Bryson
Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.
~ Mary Wollstonecraft
It is downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government: the ballot.
~ Susan B. Anthony
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now.
~ Donald Trump
As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.
~ Charlotte Bunch
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
~ Barry Goldwater
We have the best government that money can buy.
You can't run a government from one single person. What instead matters is that leadership be about gathering around extraordinary individuals and getting the best out of them.
~ Justin Trudeau
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
~ Walter Bagehot
Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.
~ Thomas Paine
The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil.
~ James Monroe
One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.
Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve this national objective.
~ Pratibha Patil
