"A good government remains the greatest of human blessings and no nation has ever enjoyed it." ― Dean Inge Topic(s): Government More From Dean Inge "Faith always contains an element of risk, of venture; and we are impelled to make the venture by the affinity and attraction which we feel in ourselves." "Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true." "Democracy is only an experiment in government, and it has the obvious disadvantage of merely counting votes instead of weighing them."

Now, unfortunately, it’s a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush."― Andrew Cuomo "First, we must stop issuing drivers’ licenses to people in our country illegally. Providing them with forms of government identification makes a mockery of our laws and undermines national security efforts."― Bobby Jindal "Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion?"― Michael Bloomberg
