Under a Presidential government gezegde

Under a Presidential government, a nation has, except at the electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot-box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns.

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

No other past presidential candidate, with the exception of McCain, has done what Kerry has done in terms of converting his presidential campaign into a grass-roots political and legislative operation. He's dedicated to electing Democrats.

David Wade

You wait till you see that Dominican team. You wait till you see Puerto Rico. You wait till you see Venezuela. . . . Matsui is a great player. The Japanese team needs him.

Tommy Lasorda (1927-)

Some people will pay a premium for the convenience of not having to wait till they get home to download music. They get instant access without any cables to get tangled up in.

Jackie Bostick

Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Happiness, whether in despotism or democracy, whether in slavery or liberty, can never be found without virtue

John Adams (1735-1826)

Glede

I understand that people want to protect their sources, but we're dealing with the alleged forgery of government documents to influence a presidential race during war, ... This isn't politics as usual. It's dangerous and possibly criminal.

Tom DeLay (1947-)

Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberality and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government. There are only two main theories of government in the world. One rests on righteousness and the other on force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republic, the other is represented by a despotism.
The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of men. Of course we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, charity- these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace.

Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)

Religion

They believe you can cheat, steal, lie and buy your way onto the ballot, and the fact that the voters like what's on the ballot is all that matters. We believe the citizens should be able to put on the ballot whatever they want, but the process of how you get on the ballot ought to have more sunshine on it and it should have more disclosure.

Mark Wilson

Don't wait an instant more, ... There are no moral, legal, political or procedural arguments that should get in the way. It is more immoral to hold compatriots who represent the institution of government -- rotting from years spent in the forest.

Juan Carlos

Whatever government is not a government of laws, is a despotism, let it be called what it may

Daniel Webster (1782-1852)

Regjering

So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism -- despotism during the campaign -- is indispensable.

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

At this moment, it's not clear to what extent this epidemic is under control in Europe and Central Asia. Our message to countries in the region is this: Be prepared. Don't wait till you have an outbreak to think about drafting contingency plans and putting together a communications strategy. He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy.

Juergen Voegele

DICTATOR, n. The chief of a nation that prefers the pestilence of despotism to the plague of anarchy.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

The chains of military despotism once fastened upon a nation, ages might pass away before they could be shaken off.

William Henry Harrison (1773-1841)
