Good government never depends ordsprog

Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

Frank Herbert

We are expecting nothing better from the government and its allies in the second round in terms of rigging, in terms of high-handedness and in terms of the involvement of government machinery in the election process.

The behavior of the new government will determine the course of our relationship. It's important that the new government govern in a democratic way.

Scott McClellan

Important meetings take place between the Clerk and whichever government wins to go over the priorities of government, how the government is set up, where the bathroom is, things like that. It obviously changes whether there's an incumbent government or a new government, but those kinds of things continue to happen regardless.

The important thing is to get money to the Palestinian people, humanitarian aid, and the other important element is to ensure that the government that will be established will not be a terrorist government.

Here was this vast machinery of government and they didn't know how it ran, where you put in the gas, where you put in the oil, where you turn the throttle.

Gen Maxwell D. Taylor

Gen Maxwell D. Taylor

I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labour of the industrious.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

Make the people sovereign and the poor will use the machinery of government to dispossess the rich.

Cyril Northcote Parkinson (1909-1993)

C. Northcote Parkinson

What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.

James Madison (1751-1836)

James Madison

We have filed a proposal for some US$3 billion worth of machinery and Japan has agreed as long as the government is willing to guarantee (the loan).

Ernovian G. Ismy

Governor Bush said that under our system of government the legislative branch passes the laws, the executive branch administers the law. The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity. Unfortunately, he left out one important branch of our government, the judicial branch, which has the responsibility of interpreting our laws and reconciling conflicts between statutes.

I love the Constitution and government of this land, but I hate the damned rascals that administer the government

Brigham Young (1801-1877)

If, for example, existing government intervention is minor, we shall attach a smaller weight to the negative effect of additional government intervention. This is an important reason why many earlier liberals, like Henry Simons, writing at a time when government was small by today's standards, were willing to have government undertake activities that today's liberals would not accept now that government has become so overgrown.

Milton Friedman (1912-)

Milton Friedman

What these open government laws do is break down that wall of government secrecy so that everybody knows what's going on. A democracy can only function if we have information. You can only have oversight of government if you have information.
