Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or bodies:
“In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Sign at the orgy: BODIES ONLY.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
