- National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
- Theresa May on Government
- Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource, and human beings are not mere numbers. To suggest that one can somehow align all the squabbling institutions of science, environmental management, government and diplomacy in an alliance of convenience to regulate the global climate seems to me optimistic.
- James Buchan on Government
- New York State is upside down and backwards high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.
- Andrew Cuomo on Government
- Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
- Lily Tomlin on Government
- No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.
- Benjamin Disraeli on Government
- No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt on Government
- No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
- Ronald Reagan on Government
- No government fights fascism to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees that power is slipping out of its hands, it brings up fascism to hold onto their privileges.
- Buenaventura Durruti on Government
- No government ought to be without censors and where the press is free no one ever will.
- Thomas Jefferson on Government
- No government ought to be without censors and where the press is free, no one ever will. Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.
- Anatole France on Government
- No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt on Government
- No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
- Abraham Lincoln on Government
- No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.
- Barbara Tuchman on Government
- No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
- Jesse Jackson on Government
- No way, no how did I break into NORAD. That's a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems.
- Kevin Mitnick on Government
- Nobody is starving on the streets. We've always taken care of them. We take care of our own we always have. It is not the government's responsibility.
- Benjamin Carson on Government
- Non-disclosure in the Internet Age is quickly perceived as a breach of trust. Government, corporations and each of us as individuals must recalibrate how we live and share our lives appropriate to the information now available and the expectations of others.
- Simon Mainwaring on Government
- Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt on Government
- Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
- Albert Einstein on Government
- Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, and drink and wear.
- Thomas B. Macaulay on Government
- Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.
- Milton Friedman on Government
- Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government.
- Edmund Burke on Government
- Now, I learned soon enough, that among the three, two don't trust the third one - the third one is the government. Both industry and unions feel the government is a talking organization and a spending organization.
- Shimon Peres on Government
- Now, in New Jersey, we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America. But since I've been governor we now have fewer people on the state payroll at any time since Christie Whitman left office in January 2001. That's the right direction, Mr. President, not the wrong direction.
- Chris Christie on Government
- Now, let me be clear. The path I lay out is not one paved with ever increasing government checks and cradle to grave assurance that government will always be the solution. If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most goodies and the most benefits, I'm not your president. You have that president today.
- Mitt Romney on Government
