"By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more." ― Albert Camus Topic(s): Government Tags: definition, government More From Albert Camus "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." "I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is." "For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium."

It is what of, by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs, I think it’s quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor’s seat who actually knows where jobs come from."― Carly Fiorina "Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government."― George Washington
