Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or factory:

    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)

    The factory was very fine;
    He wished it all the modern speed.
    Yet, after all, ‘twas not divine,
    That is to say, ‘twas not a church.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
