"I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master." ― David Rockefeller Topic(s): Government More From David Rockefeller "The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes." "I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years." "Much corporate giving is charitable in nature rather than philanthropic." More In Government "Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home."― William E. Gladstone "We’ll support the government on issues if it’s essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians."― Stephen Harper "If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty – not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live."― Ron Paul
