It is the mission of the next Conservative Government to build the Responsible Society.

Quotes by William Hague

At a time of such hope and optimism in the Middle East, we cannot let the Libyan government violate every principle of international law and human rights with impunity.

Quotes by William Hague

Obviously a Conservative government will always leave taxes lower than they have been under Labour. Those things go with the territory of the Conservative Party.

Quotes by William Hague

Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.

Quotes by William Godwin

Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.

Quotes by William E. Gladstone

It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.

Quotes by William E. Gladstone

The American citizen must be made aware that today a relatively small group of people is proclaiming its purposes to be the will of the People. That elitist approach to government must be repudiated.

Quotes by William E. Simon

The very nature of the government, and the direction it's been heading in for the past 40 years, is one of contrived government solutions to all the problems in the United States.

Quotes by William E. Simon

It is essential that the young people of this country learn to respect the right of every man and woman to seek his or her happiness with minimal interference from the government.

Quotes by William E. Simon

The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

Quotes by William Ellery Channing

I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.

Quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.

The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.

Quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.

The Chinese government since 1979 has been very successful in economic development, and successful enough, simply by surviving, in the realm of political development.

Quotes by William C. Kirby

It is our character that supports the promise of our future - far more than particular government programs or policies.

Quotes by William Bennett

If you're in government, that's one of the one things you have to do is to always avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Quotes by William Binney

Reagan used to say that 'we're a country with a government.' Well, now we're a government with a country, and we're making everybody else that way, too.

Quotes by William Binney

When a federal court issues an order against enforcement of a government policy, the ruling traditionally applies only to the plaintiff in that case.

Quotes by William Barr

A Supreme Court justice must convince at least four colleagues to bind the federal government nationwide, whereas a district court judge issuing a nationwide injunction needn't convince anyone.

Quotes by William Barr

I believe deeply that the first duty of government is providing for the personal security of its citizens. Therefore I would naturally place the highest priority on strengthening law enforcement.

Quotes by William Barr

In our system of government, the Supreme Court ultimately decides on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress or of presidential actions. When their actions are challenged, both Congress and the president are entitled to have their positions forcefully advocated in court.

Quotes by William Barr

I mean, republics have fallen because of Praetorian Guard mentality where government officials get very arrogant, they identify the national interest with their own political preferences and they feel that anyone who has a different opinion, you know, is somehow an enemy of the state.

Quotes by William Barr

I have long believed that the first duty of government is to protect the safety of our citizens.

Quotes by William Barr

Freedom of religion requires not only freeing religion from undue government regulation and interference. It also requires freeing religion from discrimination and from vile acts of hatred and persecution.

Quotes by William Barr

In my view, the government has ample justification to inquire about citizenship status on the census and could plainly provide rationales for doing so that would satisfy the Supreme Court.

Quotes by William Barr

The imperative of protecting religious freedom was not just a nod in the direction of piety. It reflects the Framers' belief that religion was indispensable to sustaining our free system of government.

Quotes by William Barr

Because government has tremendous power, it attracts people who are eager to game the system, obtaining by force of law what they could never achieve through consensus.

Quotes by William A. Dembski

Government has a legitimate sphere of operation. The problem arises when that sphere continually expands, encompassing areas where government lacks legitimacy.

Quotes by William A. Dembski

As a member of Congress, a coequal branch of government designed by our founders to provide checks and balances on the executive branch, I believe that lawmakers must fulfill our oversight duty as well as keep the American people informed of the current danger.

Quotes by Will Hurd

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

Quotes by Will Rogers

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Quotes by Will Rogers

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

Quotes by Will Rogers

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

Quotes by Will Rogers

Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle.

Quotes by Will Durant

The fact that political ideologies are tangible realities is not a proof of their vitally necessary character. The bubonic plague was an extraordinarily powerful social reality, but no one would have regarded it as vitally necessary.

Quotes by Wilhelm Reich

The government is best which makes itself unnecessary.

Quotes by Wilhelm von Humboldt

The whole structure of African government, as far back as we know, was based on tyranny. One guy ran the show. Chiefs like Chaka and Mzilikazi committed terrible atrocities. That is the tradition from which modern African rulers spring. It won't change easily overnight.

Quotes by Wilbur Smith

The mistake the apartheid government made was they gave the black people nothing, so they had nothing to lose. But now a lot of the former freedom-fighters are big-time capitalists. They've been given directorships in every major company. They're billionaires!

Quotes by Wilbur Smith

It is a sound principle of finance, and a still sounder principle of government, that those who have the duty of expending the revenue of a country should also be saddled with the responsibility of levying and providing it.

Quotes by Wilfrid Laurier

While there's always plenty of room for improvement, our government is actually quite effective and efficient. Our military and judicial systems and national parks are the best in the world. Unlike in countries where government corruption is rampant, I've never once been solicited for a bribe.

Quotes by Whitney Tilson

I think that most people who complain about our government have no idea what they're talking about because they've never been to a country with a bad government.

Quotes by Whitney Tilson

Part of the reason why I'm supporting Trump is that I think we need a more radical, new approach to government - at least in the U.S. - from what we've had before.

Quotes by Wilbur Ross

I didn't defraud the government by taking money that was not mine.

Quotes by Wesley Snipes

We should be able to go to our government and get clear answers.

Quotes by Wesley Snipes

I certainly enjoy going on stage and lecturing and talking to Congress. That's a personality explanation. And given government proposals, I thought I had a clear view that they were antagonistic to human freedom.

Quotes by Whitfield Diffie

What I did warn about when I testified in front of Congress in 2002, I said if you want to worry about a state, it shouldn't be Iraq, it should be Iran. But this government, our administration, wanted to worry about Iraq, not Iran.

Quotes by Wesley Clark

They're lots of good Americans here in New York who have common sense and who believe in free markets and free people and limited government under our Constitution. Those are the principles I've always stood for. I know they're right, and that's what I'm going to stand for.

Quotes by Wendy Long

I am the candidate of tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, repealing Dodd-Frank, letting the markets work, coming up with patient-and-doctor-centered healthcare solutions instead of more big government - and just generally getting government off the backs of small businesses.

Quotes by Wendy Long

To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that Congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places.

Quotes by Wendell Phillips

We live under a government of men and morning newspapers.

Quotes by Wendell Phillips

Today it is not big business that we have to fear. It is big government.

Quotes by Wendell Phillips

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

Quotes by Wendell Willkie

In addition, as citizens, we must fight in their incipient stages all movements by government or party or pressure groups that seek to limit the legitimate liberties of any of our fellow citizens.

Quotes by Wendell Willkie

It is only when there is the supervision and critical oversight from the people that the government will be in a position to do an even better job, and employees of government departments will be the true public servants of the people.

Quotes by Wen Jiabao

The Chinese government attaches importance to, and protects, human rights. We have incorporated these lines into the Chinese constitution, and we also implement the stipulation in real earnest. I think for any government, what is most important is to ensure that its people enjoy each and every right given to them by the constitution.

Quotes by Wen Jiabao

I don't think a system or a government should fear critical opinions or views. Only by heeding those critical views would it be possible for us to further improve our work and make further progress.

Quotes by Wen Jiabao

The best government is the least government. In some areas, I'm libertarian. I don't subscribe to any one party; they are all bad.

Quotes by Wayne Rogers

We're headed towards a fascist economy in which you have big government, big corporations and big labor, and they're all in cahoots to strangle the entrepreneur.

Quotes by Wayne Rogers

We have morons representing us. People who go up and vote for a bill that they have never read - I mean, are we crazy? Are we insane to hand over our government to those kinds of people?

Quotes by Wayne Rogers

You've got the federal government in every part of our lives, doing things wrong.

Quotes by Wayne Rogers

I want to ensure and the Government wants to ensure that Australia is well prepared to tackle dangerous climate change with a scheme which is both responsible and which meets our international commitments.

Quotes by Wayne Swan

Knowing who you are and what guns you own was indeed the key to the massive gun theft by government in Australia that saw hundreds of thousands of honest, law-abiding citizens disarmed.

Quotes by Wayne LaPierre

We know that, sooner or later, reckless government actions and policies have consequences. That when government corrupts the truth and breaks faith with the American people, the entire fabric of our society - everything we believe in and count on - is in jeopardy.

Quotes by Wayne LaPierre

The president's very right about one thing: When you have a disaster of that scale, whether it be natural or a terrorist attack, there's only one part of our entire government, state or local, that is equipped to handle it, and that's the U.S. military.

Quotes by Warren Rudman

It was a bad idea, because I think that any government reorganization has to come in relatively small bites, or else you get indigestion.

Quotes by Warren Rudman

Government is not show business.

Quotes by Warren Beatty

The five different areas in which boys are in crisis - education; jobs; emotional health; physical health; and fatherlessness - are handled by different portions of the government.

Quotes by Warren Farrell

Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.

Quotes by Wanda Sykes

It's hard to get fired from the government. You have to, like, kill people.

Quotes by Wanda Sykes

China is a government-oriented economy. No one can say he can run his business entirely without government connections. Anybody who says that he or she can do things alone... is a hypocrite.

Quotes by Wang Jianlin

Remain close to government and away from politics. It means deal more with the authorities. And less with individuals.

Quotes by Wang Jianlin

Real estate deals a lot with the government. It isn't like manufacturing, logistics, home appliances or the auto sector, which deal with consumers.

Quotes by Wang Jianlin

In the West, if a city faces financial difficulties, it'll go bankrupt. But in China, cities will be subsidised by the Ministry of Finance. So some small- and medium-sized cities aren't worried about going bankrupt. They figure the central government will help them out.

Quotes by Wang Shi

When has there ever been a government in German history that came to the people and revealed its detailed plans for the coming years? That could not happen before, since German governments planned war and conquest.

Quotes by Walter Ulbricht

The government of the German Democratic Republic rejects secret policies. It works for the people, and only the people, so it does not need to keep secrets like the warmongers.

Quotes by Walter Ulbricht

As there is in Germany - as well as in Russia and Italy - no art which is not approved of by the government, any criticizing remark about the present policy made by me would easily be taken as a hostile act. I cannot have my name put up against an official report from Germany without risking very unpleasant consequences.

Quotes by Walter Gropius

Especially right after 9/11. Especially when the war in Afghanistan is going on. There was a real sense that you don't get that critical of a government that's leading us in war time.

Quotes by Walter Isaacson

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.

Quotes by Walter Bagehot

Dullness in matters of government is a good sign, and not a bad one - in particular, dullness in parliamentary government is a test of its excellence, an indication of its success.

Quotes by Walter Bagehot

We need a wireless mobile device ecosystem that mirrors the PC/Internet ecosystem, one where the consumers' purchase of network capacity is separate from their purchase of the hardware and software they use on that network. It will take government action, or some disruptive technology or business innovation, to get us there.

Quotes by Walt Mossberg

In principle... no government in the world can accept an armed terrorist group, some of them coming from abroad, controlling streets and villages in the name of 'jihad'.

Quotes by Walid Muallem

As Governor, I will demand that Colorado's government serves the taxpayers of Colorado, not special interest groups and government bureaucrats.

Quotes by Walker Stapleton

I started, actually, as an analyst on African affairs, mainly on Al Jazeera. I remember the first few series were about Saudi students, and the negotiations between the government and the Sudanese rebels in the south. And then, slowly, I was speaking about Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and a few other places.

Quotes by Wadah Khanfar

One of the most effective tools in Brazil's efforts to eradicate slavery is a register compiled by the government that lists individuals and businesses found using slave labor. Those on the 'dirty list,' as the register is known, are fined and remain on it for a minimum of two years during which they cannot access public funds.

Quotes by Wagner Moura

We must force the government to stop the bird migration. We must shoot all birds, field all our men and troops... and force migratory birds to stay where they are.

Quotes by Vladimir Zhirinovsky

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another.

Voltaire

The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.

Voltaire

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

Quotes by Vladimir Lenin

The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.

Quotes by Vladimir Lenin

The task of the government is not only to pour honey into a cup, but sometimes to give bitter medicine.

Quotes by Vladimir Putin

History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.

Quotes by Vladimir Putin

I feel that schools and corporates should help the government in popularising sports in the country. Blaming the government for every sporting debacle will not be fair.

Quotes by Viswanathan Anand

Many people at different levels of the Russian government are open to crypto-currencies.

Quotes by Vitalik Buterin

We know that the most fundamental responsibility of our Federal Government is to ensure the safety of its people and to protect and ensure our National security. And clearly port security has been left in limbo.

Quotes by Vito Fossella

One of the essential elements of government responsibility is to communicate effectively to the American people, especially in time of a potential terrorist attack or a natural disaster.

Quotes by Vito Fossella

Vetting and verifying information is one thing. Having our government sending out conflicting messages to the American people when conflict can be avoided is another.

Quotes by Vito Fossella

China's idea of fair trade is government subsidies of its textile and apparel exports to the United States, currency manipulation, and forgiveness of loans by its government banks.

Quotes by Virginia Foxx

I had mixed feelings when the entire country was celebrating the death of Pablo Escobar and even Bill Clinton was congratulating the government.

Quotes by Virginia Vallejo

The Bush administration as well as Mexico and Canada have persons in the government in all three countries who want to a see a North American Union as well as a highway system that would bring goods into the west coast of Mexico and transport them up through Mexico into the United States and then in onto Canada.

Quotes by Virgil Goode

The government has a responsibility to protect society, to help maintain society. That's why we have laws... The rule of law creates a set of standards for our behavior.

Quotes by Vint Cerf

We can't always wait on the government to sort out all issues. I think they set policies, they set the rules, but we all have a duty to help as much as we can.

Quotes by Vincent Kompany

Now the main areas of higher education that still enjoy considerable financial support from government are subjects like engineering and science and the research ringfence which is the basic minimum to protect Britain's scientific competitiveness.
