Government Quotes A-Z by Author |
So much of politics is about the daily grind
of political business: the people to see,
the myriad different facets of government,
the remorseless agenda of this part of the
media or that.

I've got the greatest job in the world.
There's no other job in government where
cause and effect is so tightly coupled where
you can make a difference every day in so
many different ways and in so many different
people's lives. It's a great challenge.

I think if you look at people, whether in
business or government, who haven't had
any moral compass, who've just changed to
say whatever they thought the popular thing
was, in the end they're losers.

It's evolutionary, going from governor to

When it comes to the common rights and needs
of men and women, there is no clash of civilizations.
The requirements of freedom apply fully
to Africa and Latin America and the entire
Islamic world. The peoples of the Islamic
nations want and deserve the same freedoms
and opportunities as people in every nation.
And their governments should listen to their
hopes.

I've worked for four presidents and watched
two others up close, and I know that there's
no such thing as a routine day in the Oval
Office.

As Vice President one of the things I spend time on is the continuity of
government; that's the main reason I'm here is a back up for the President if
anything happens to him.

One of the problems we have as a government is our inability to keep secrets.
And it costs us, in terms of our relationship with other governments, in terms
of the willingness of other intelligence services to work with us, in terms of
revealing sources and methods. And all of those elements enter into some of these
leaks.

No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's
care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families
as they cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children.

You would have to say of John
Howard's government that he has tended to go after things with a fair degree
of determination, and I would have thought.. I don't see any reason why that should
suddenly disappear now that he has control of both houses.
Chris
Corrigan - Government

Our system of government is one of checks
and balances. It requires compromise.. compromise
between the Executive and the Parliament,
compromise between one House and another,
compromise between the States and the Commonwealth
and compromise between groups of persons
with legitimate interests and other groups
with other legitimate interests. There is
room for compromise.. indeed demand for
it.. in a system of checks and balances.
Peter
Costello - Government

To have security against atomic bombs and
against the other biological weapons, we
have to prevent war, for if we cannot prevent
war every nation will use every means that
is at their disposal; and in spite of all
promises they make, they will do it. At
the same time, so long as war is not prevented,
all the governments of the nations have
to prepare for war, and if you have to prepare
for war, then you are in a state where you
cannot abolish war.
Albert
Einstein - Responsibility

A corporation's primary goal is to make
money. Government's primary role is to take
a big chunk of that money and give it to
others.

The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big
issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes.

I love building the products, seeing people

I will be fighting every minute of every
day of the campaign because I am determined
to win and I think it's important that we
have a strong experienced Government that
knows it's own mind in these more difficult
times.

In the model that we grew up with, governments rule physical territory in
which national economies function, and strong economies support hegemonic military
power. In the new model, already emerging under our noses, economic decisions
don’t pay much attention to national sovereignty in a world where more than
half of the one hundred or two hundred largest economic entities are not countries
but companies.

A government cannot be expected to allow independence to its central bank
unless that bank is also accountable to it and to the wider public. That is, the
central bank must be able to be judged on whether or not it has achieved its agreed
objective.

There's an old saying that the government is your partner from birth, but

The motivation for war is simple. The U.S.
government started the war with Iraq in
order to make it easy for U.S. corporations
to do business in other countries. They
intend to use cheap labor in those countries,
which will make Americans rich.

These b**tards who run our country are a
bunch of conniving, thieving, smug pricks

All forms of government ultimately are not
going to succeed in trying to control or
censor the Internet.
Rupert

I think we've been an agent for change,
everywhere, and I think change frightens
people. They're going nicely in what seems
like a settled industry, and someone comes
in and says: "I can do this better.
It doesn't matter how nice that other one
is." That's one of the distinguishing
points of our acquisitions.
Rupert

As with all politically lead governments,
foreign investment is the slowest in the
media section. Politicians are somewhat
paranoid about the media but we still think
it’s worthwhile.

People don't expect government to solve
all their problems. But they sense, deep
in their bones, that with just a slight
change in priorities, we can make sure that
every child in America has a decent shot
at life, and that the doors of opportunity
remain open to all. They know we can do
better.

We don't need a weakened government but
a strong government that would take responsibility

We want a national emissions trading scheme,
the Government does not and has rejected
one for years. We want to boost the mandatory
renewable energies target, the Government
has failed to do that. We want a national
demand side management strategy for the
country to reduce electricity consumption
and the Government, up until now, has done
very little on that score.

I just don't really get into all that sort of personal negative
stuff. My job is to outline some positive plans for the country's future and perhaps
Mr.
Howard and the Government don't like the fact that I'm putting out some positive
alternatives. What's their preference.. for me to be a negative carping opposition
leader?

It doesn’t really matter what party you come from. I think the people appreciate
that and they know that you’re working together, that you can provide the
kind of leadership to bring both of the parties together, and do the kind of things
that need to be done for the state.
Arnold

I think that if it is.. has to do with global warming, or if it has to do
with raising the minimum wage, or if it has to do with lowering prescription drugs
for vulnerable citizens.. all of those things are people issues, not Democratic
issues or Republican issues.

Gangsta rappers, they call them. Not nearly as gangsta as the things that

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people
don't go into government.
