Famous quotes containing the words body and/or governing:

    “I thought no more was needed
    Youth to prolong
    Than dumb-bell and foil
    To keep the body young.
    O who could have foretold
    That the heart grows old?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
