3 December 2020 Benjamin Netanyahu The Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deeds. By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years.
3 December 2020 Hillary Clinton Both the American people and nations that censor the internet should understand that our government is committed to helping promote internet freedom.

3 December 2020 Conan O'Brien The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he’d like to help, but he’s pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army.
3 December 2020 Mitt Romney It’s opportunity. It’s opportunity, not a check from government – it’s opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

3 December 2020 Evan Davis We Brits print banknotes out in Debden in Essex, and have contracted it out to the private sector. Here in the U.S. it is a government operation right in the heart of Washington next door to the Holocaust Museum.
3 December 2020 Aung San Suu Kyi Every government must consider the security of the country. That is just part of the responsibilities of any government. But true security can only come out of unity within a country where there are so many ethnic nationalities.
3 December 2020 Alexander Woollcott I’m tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn’t work. Of course it doesn’t work. We are supposed to work it.
3 December 2020 Melina Mercouri We say to the British government: you have kept those sculptures for almost two centuries. You have cared for them as well as you could, for which we thank you. But now in the name of fairness and morality, please give them back.
3 December 2020 Woodrow Wilson Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

3 December 2020 Scott Walker More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.
3 December 2020 Franklin D. Roosevelt Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

3 December 2020 Grover Cleveland The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, Government should not support the people.
3 December 2020 Henry Clay Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.
3 December 2020 Buffalo Bill Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.
3 December 2020 Mitch Daniels Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make.
