The manners of women are the surest criterion by which to determine whether a republican government is practicable in a nation or not. ~ John Quincy Adams
Republican Government quotes by John Quincy Adams
The regular distribution of power into distinct departments; the introduction of legislative balances and checks; the institution of courts composed of judges holding their offices during good behavior; the representation of the people in the legislature by deputies of their own election ... They are means, and powerful means, by which the excellences of republican government may be retained and its imperfections lessened or avoided. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican Government quotes by Alexander Hamilton
But if the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government, and nothing but anarchy and confusion is to be expected thereafter ... ~ George Washington
Republican Government quotes by George Washington
From computers to information technology to airplanes, it has been America's unique blend of republican government and free-market capitalism that has allowed us to surpass all other nations in history. ~ George Nethercutt
Republican Government quotes by George Nethercutt
I trust that the proposed Constitution afford a genuine specimen of representative government and republican government; and that it will answer, in an eminent degree, all the beneficial purposes of society. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican Government quotes by Alexander Hamilton
[I] never understood [what a republican government was and] I believe no other man ever did or ever will. ~ John Adams
Republican Government quotes by John Adams
When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty. ~ Noah Webster
Republican Government quotes by Noah Webster
The censorial power is in the people over the government, and not in the government over the people. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
The definition of the right of suffrage is very justly regarded as a fundamental article of republican government. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
Jefferson feared that Hamilton had plans radically at odds with the Constitution. As he saw it, Hamilton wanted to warp the federal government out of constitutional shape, converting it into a copy of the British government, built on debt, corruption, and influence. Hamilton's goal, Jefferson charged, was to ally the rich and well born with the government at the people's expense, creating a corrupt aristocracy leagued with the government against the people and destroying the virtue that was the basis of republican government. Only a republic could preserve liberty, Jefferson insisted, and only virtue among the people could preserve a republic. ~ R.B. Bernstein
Republican Government quotes by R.B. Bernstein
[A]lthough a republican government is slow to move, yet when once in motion, its momentum becomes irresistible. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Republican Government quotes by Thomas Jefferson
I considered 4 of these bills [of the revised code of Virginia] as forming a system by which every fibre would be eradicated of antient or future aristocracy; and a foundation laid for a government truly republican. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Republican Government quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The virtue of its Citizens is the only Support of a Republican government ~ William Henry Harrison
Republican Government quotes by William Henry Harrison
I am more than ever convinced of the dangers to which the free and unbiased exercise of political opinion - the only sure foundation and safeguard of republican government - would be exposed by any further increase of the already overgrown influence of corporate authorities. ~ Martin Van Buren
Republican Government quotes by Martin Van Buren
I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse and in a republican government more than in any other. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
A republican government should be based on free and equal education among the people ~ Susan B. Anthony
Republican Government quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Of all the objections which have been framed against the federal Constitution, this is perhaps the most extraordinary. Whilst the objection itself is levelled against a pretended oligarchy, the principle of it strikes at the very root of republican government. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
The United States is no more a Christian nation because most of its citizens are Christians than it is a 'white' nation because most of its citizens are white. We are Americans because we practice democracy and believe in republican government, not because we practice revealed religion and believe in Bible-based government. ~ John Stuart Mill
Republican Government quotes by John Stuart Mill
I propose ... The conformity of the proposed Constitution to the true principles of republican government. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican Government quotes by Alexander Hamilton
In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude. ~ George Washington
Republican Government quotes by George Washington
To Sherman, a large, complicated national government was contrary to "the true spirit and genius of republican government," which should be small and simple: ~ Mark David Hall
Republican Government quotes by Mark David Hall
We are ready to end fascism once and for all, even in spite of the Republican government. ~ Buenaventura Durruti
Republican Government quotes by Buenaventura Durruti
The truth is that neither then nor at any former time, since I had attained my maturity in Age, Reading and reflection had I imbibed any general Prejudice against Kings, or in favour of them. It appeared to me then as it has done ever since, that there is a State of Society in which a Republican Government is the best, and in America the only one ... ~ John Adams
Republican Government quotes by John Adams
The first question that offers itself is, whether the general form and aspect of the government be strictly republican? It is evident that no other form would be reconcileable with the genius of the people of America; with the fundamental principles of the revolution; or with that honourable determination which animates every votary of freedom, to rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
It is a misfortune incident to republican government, though in a less degree than to other governments, that those who administer it, may forget their obligations to their constituents, and prove unfaithful to their important trust. ~ James Madison
Republican Government quotes by James Madison
Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics. ~ John Adams
Republican Government quotes by John Adams
The idea of governing at all times by the simple force of law (which we have been told is the only admissible principle of republican government) has no place but in the reveries of those political doctors whose sagacity disdains the admonitions of experimental instruction. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican Government quotes by Alexander Hamilton
A republican government is in a hundred points weaker than one that is autocratic; but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed-it has educated a race of men that are men. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Republican Government quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Parties in our Government have no better idea than to think the Republic stands all the firmer upon opposition; but I say that it is not so. A republican government consists in letting the people rule by their united voice, without a dissension,
in learning what is for the best, and unitedly doing it. That is true republicanism. ~ Brigham Young
Republican Government quotes by Brigham Young
Europeans believe in democracy - or, at least, in republican government - but they have considered the alternatives, and continue to do so, and that scandalizes Americans. ~ William Pfaff
Republican Government quotes by William Pfaff
I hate government. I'm apolitical. Write that down. I'm not a Republican. ~ Bruce Willis
Republican Government quotes by Bruce Willis
A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Republican Government quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Independent of its connection with human destiny hereafter, the fate of republican government is indissolubly bound up with the fate of the Christian religion, and a people who reject its holy faith will find themselves the slaves of their own evil passions and of arbitrary power. ~ Lewis Cass
Republican Government quotes by Lewis Cass
Grover seemed to read my mind. "Listen," he said. "I don't know if your grandparents came on boats or if they were a bunch of farmers. But you've got to understand something about the old man. His folks weren't more than a few years from Wounded Knee. The government still shot people. It stole the kids, performed experiments on them, sterilized the little girls. If you made too much noise you just disappeared. That's just the way it was. You didn't make trouble." "Sounds like the Nazis," I said. Grover just shrugged. "I'm just trying to make you understand. This is a big thing he's doing. I'm telling you again, he's counting on you because you're the only white man he trusts. ~ Kent Nerburn
Republican Government quotes by Kent Nerburn
Over the years, my marks on paper have landed me in all sorts of courts and controversies - I have been comprehensively labelled; anti-this and anti-that, anti-social, anti-football, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-Semitic, anti-science, anti-republican, anti-American, anti-Australian - to recall just an armful of the antis. ~ Michael Leunig
Republican Government quotes by Michael Leunig
Conservatives shouldn't count on the Supreme Court to do our work for us on Obamacare. The Court may rule as it should, and strike down the mandate. But it may not. And even if it does, the future of health care in America - and for that matter, the future of limited government - depends ultimately on the verdict of the American people. ~ Bill Kristol
Republican Government quotes by Bill Kristol
I studied politics and economics at Bristol, and people always assumed that I'd go into politics or a non-government organisation when I left. I might well do this later on. I'd love to represent a West Country seat in the House of Commons. ~ Ben Elliot
Republican Government quotes by Ben Elliot
Happy it is when the interest which the government has in the preservation of its own power, coincides with a proper distribution of the public burthens, and tends to guard the least wealthy part of the community from oppression! ~ Alexander Hamilton
Republican Government quotes by Alexander Hamilton
Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. ~ Adam Smith
Republican Government quotes by Adam Smith
In a democracy, you don't get worthwhile laws to end evil, you get workable people to stop evil laws. ~ Amit Kalantri
Republican Government quotes by Amit Kalantri
What if we were to subject public servants like politicians to a battery of psychological tests like the MMPI? Maybe we could determine which of them were more likely to become corrupt and save them the trouble of lengthy, expensive campaigns where they are ultimately harassed by greedy corporations. ~ Aaron B. Powell
Republican Government quotes by Aaron B. Powell
I have changed the style of functioning of the government and administration and managed to change the perception. ~ Harish Rawat
Republican Government quotes by Harish Rawat
John Kerry had surgery on his right shoulder this week to repair some damage. It was pretty bad, he had no feeling. It was almost like he was a Republican. ~ David Letterman
Republican Government quotes by David Letterman
Making no attempt to conceal his hope that he, a son of the Russian people, might also be cured by this simple Russian folk remedy. He spoke with no trace of hostility - he didn't want to irritate Bone-chewer - yet there was a reminder in his voice. "But is this method officially recognized?" he asked. "Has it been approved by a government department? ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Republican Government quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Democracy is government by the people, for the people. Without the responsibility of the people, and without the involvement of the people - all you have left is GOVERNMENT. ~ Christina Engela
Republican Government quotes by Christina Engela
Our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don't care what it is. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Republican Government quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
The war on drugs was an ideology the government came up with, and there never really was a war on drugs. I mean, to stop the importation of drugs into the United States of America is an impossibility. ~ George Jung
Republican Government quotes by George Jung
The Americans are like shadows . . . frightening until you finally touch them and realize that their image was their power all along. ~ Mark Henshaw
Republican Government quotes by Mark Henshaw
I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses. ~ Curt Schilling
Republican Government quotes by Curt Schilling
True liberal government is founded on the emancipation of men. ~ Herbert Hoover
Republican Government quotes by Herbert Hoover
Let's face it: The Republican Party is no longer a broad-based conservative party in the historically accepted sense. It is an oligarchy with a well-developed public relations strategy designed to soothe and anesthetize its followers with appeals to tradition, security, and family even as it pursues a radical agenda that would transform the country into a Dickensian corporatocracy at home and a belligerent military empire abroad. ~ Mike Lofgren
Republican Government quotes by Mike Lofgren
Government barriers on Business For example, the Endangered Species Act prevents 'disturbing the habitat' of the spotted owl. That has restricted 4.2 million acres of forest from development, leading to the loss of 30,000 lumber-related jobs and the annual loss of 1.1 billion board feet of lumber. This has driven up the cost of houses by at least $4,000 each. In addition, regulators ordered a Kansas City bank to install a Braille keypad on its drive-through automatic teller machine, presumably to aid any blind drivers. The list goes on and on. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Republican Government quotes by Rush Limbaugh
The United States government in Washington constantly gives amnesty to its highest officials, even when they commit the most egregious crimes. And yet the idea of amnesty for a whistleblower is considered radical and extreme. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Republican Government quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Charles's old ally Don Enrique, King of Castile, also died before taking sides, and his son, Juan I, though heavily pressed by Charles V to support Clement, preferred to maintain "neutrality," saying that, while faithful to the French alliance, he could not go against the conscience of his subjects. Common people, nobility, clerics, learned men, he wrote, were all Urbanist. "What government, O wise prince," he pointedly inquired of Charles, "has ever succeeded in triumphing over public conscience supported by reason? What punishments are available to subjugate a free soul? ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Republican Government quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
Innovation is the running theme and spirit of the policies adopted by the Chinese government, and it is the banner that we will always hold high. ~ Li Keqiang
Republican Government quotes by Li Keqiang
Aristotle believed democracy could exist only because of slavery, which gave citizens the leisure for higher pursuits. (Modern versions of this argument held that American democracy was born of the slave society of rural Virginia, because slavery gave men like Washington and Jefferson the free time to better themselves and to participate in representative government.) ~ Tom Reiss
Republican Government quotes by Tom Reiss
It's not about the budget; it's about the power ... So will the attack on unions succeed? I don't know. But anyone who cares about retaining government of the people by the people should hope that it doesn't. ~ Paul Krugman
Republican Government quotes by Paul Krugman
Nothing perhaps illustrates the general disintegration of political life better than this vague, pervasive hatred of everybody and everything, without a focus for its passionate attention, with nobody to make responsible for the state of affairs - neither the government nor the bourgeoisie nor an outside power. It consequently turned in all directions, haphazardly and unpredictably, incapable of assuming an air of healthy indifference toward anything under the sun. ~ Hannah Arendt
Republican Government quotes by Hannah Arendt
You have a choice of trusting the natural stability of gold, or the honesty and intelligence of members of government. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Republican Government quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Asia's governments come in two broad varieties: young, fragile democracies - and older, fragile authoritarian regimes. ~ Paul Samuelson
Republican Government quotes by Paul Samuelson
The primary role of the church is to reflect God's value system in society and to train people in that value system. It's not the government's responsibility, nor are they equipped to do that on the most local level where the need exists. ~ Tony Evans
Republican Government quotes by Tony Evans
A slave government is an oligarchy; and one, too, of the most arbitrary and criminal character. ~ Lysander Spooner
Republican Government quotes by Lysander Spooner
Our citizens are tired of big government raising their taxes and cooking up new ways to micromanage their lives, our citizens are tired of big government killing jobs with their do-gooder policies. In short the people are Fed Up! ~ Rick Perry
Republican Government quotes by Rick Perry
The moment a large investor doesn't believe a government will pay back its debt when it says it will, a crisis of confidence could develop. Investors have scant patience for the years of good governance - politically fraught fiscal restructuring, austerity and debt rescheduling - it takes to defuse a sovereign-debt crisis. ~ Andrew Ross Sorkin
Republican Government quotes by Andrew Ross Sorkin
I was asked for years about being a Republican, probably because most black people are Democrats. My mother heard it once and called me and said 'Charles, Republicans are for the rich people.' And I said, 'Mom, I'm rich.' ~ Charles Barkley
Republican Government quotes by Charles Barkley
The remedy for our social evils does not consist so much in changing the system of government as it does in increasing the general intelligence of the people so that they may learn how to govern. ~ Charles Lindbergh
Republican Government quotes by Charles Lindbergh
We believe in a government that is characterized by fairness and reasonableness, a reasonableness that goes beyond labels, that doesn't distort or promise to do things that we know we can't do. ~ Mario Cuomo
Republican Government quotes by Mario Cuomo
We see it in attempts on Capitol Hill to impose gag rules on rules on doctors on what they can say to their patients about family planning. And we certainly see it now with an effort by the government to tap our phones; invade our medical records, credit information, library records and the most sensitive personal information in the name of national security. ~ Dick Durbin
Republican Government quotes by Dick Durbin
The systematic study of mass psychology revealed to students the potentialities of invisible government of society by manipulation of the motives which actuate man in the group. ~ Edward Bernays
Republican Government quotes by Edward Bernays
[The General Staff] maintained three sets of casualty figures, one to fool the public, one to fool the Government and one to fool themselves. ~ David Lloyd George
Republican Government quotes by David Lloyd George
The social or economic structure of the ideal state is of little concern to me. My desires are modest. Portraits of the head of the government should not exceed a postage stamp in size. No torture and no executions. No music, except coming through earphones, or played in theaters. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of art. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Republican Government quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Unfortunately the Republican tax cut will deny important revenues to many states facing their own deficits. This will create greater pressure for higher state and local taxes. ~ Dick Durbin
Republican Government quotes by Dick Durbin
Does the U.S. Constitution stand for anything in an era of government excess? Can that founding document, which is supposed to restrain the power and reach of a centralized federal government, slow down the juggernaut of czars, health insurance overhaul and anything else this administration and Congress wish to do that is not in the Constitution? ~ Cal Thomas
Republican Government quotes by Cal Thomas
In the woe of the century no factor caused more trouble than the persistent lag between the growth of the state and the means of state financing. While centralized government was developing, taxation was still encased in the concept that taxes represented an emergency measure requiring consent. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Republican Government quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
We assert that in those areas where the government is either unable or unwilling to protect the lives and property of our people, that our peopie are within our rights to protect themselves by whatever means necessary. ~ Malcolm X
Republican Government quotes by Malcolm X
how the powers of government were being improperly used through improper warrants of arrest - how it was unconstitutional to stop a person on the freeway and arrest them. ~ Jon Krakauer
Republican Government quotes by Jon Krakauer
Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The marketing immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder. ~ Jean Baudrillard
Republican Government quotes by Jean Baudrillard
During the fiscal year ending in 1861, expenses of the federal government had been $67 million. After the first year of armed conflict they were $475 million and, by 1865, had risen to one billion, three-hundred million dollars. On the income side of the ledger, taxes covered only about eleven per cent of that figure. By the end of the war, the deficit had risen to $2.61 billion. That money had to come from somewhere. ~ G. Edward Griffin
Republican Government quotes by G. Edward Griffin
If you want to cut down a tree, it is no use to climb into its branches. ~ Vinoba Bhave
