“Since when do grown men and women, who presume to hold high government office and exercise what they think of as "moral leadership," require ethics officers to tell them whether it is or isn't permissible to grab the secretary's behind or redirect public funds to their own personal advantage?” ThinkingMenGovernmentSuccessBehindsMoralExerciseOfficeEthicsMen And WomenAdvantageFundOfficersSecretaryGrown ManMoral Leadership Author:Meg Greenfield
“I'm sure everyone feels sorry for the individual who has fallen by the wayside or who can't keep up in our competitive society, but my own compassion goes beyond that to those millions of unsung men and women, who get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try to keep up the payments on their house, pay exorbitant taxes to make possible compassion for the less fortunate, and as a result have to sacrifice many of their own desires and dreams and hopes. Government owes them something better than always finding a new way to make them share the fruit of their toils with others.” MenWayFeelsTryingDreamGovernmentKidsSchoolDesireHouseIndividualMy OwnResultsPayCompassionMorningMillionsSacrificeShareTaxesFindingsMen And WomenFruitSorryGet UpFortunateFallenEvery MorningNew WaysToilPaymentSomething BetterLess Fortunate Author:Ronald Reagan

“it was the United States which first established general suffrage for men upon the two principles that 'taxation without representation is tyranny' and that governments to be just should 'derive their consent from the governed.' The unanswerable logic of these two principles is responsible for the extension of suffrage to men and women the world over. In the United States, however, women are still taxed without 'representation' and still live under a government to which they have given no 'consent.” MenWorldShouldFirstsStillsTwoStatesGovernmentGivenJusticeUnitedPrinciplesUnited StatesMen And WomenLogicResponsibleTyrannyRepresentationConsentExtensionsTaxationSuffrageTaxation Without Representation Author:Carrie Chapman Catt
“Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars. We shall be all alike - brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all. Then the Great Spirit Chief who rules above will smile upon this land and send rain to wash out the bloody spots made by brothers' hands upon the face of the earth. For this time the Indian race is waiting and praying. I hope no more groans of wounded men and women will ever go to the ear of the Great Spirit Chief above, and that all people may be one people.” PeopleMenMayMadeWarCountryHandsGovernmentEarthFacesSpiritMotherFatherWaitingWhiteRaceSkyLandBrotherPrayingMen And WomenRainEarsTreatsSpotsChiefsIndianBloodyWoundedWhite ManGreat Spirit Author:Chief Joseph
“The separation of church and state can sometimes be frustrating for women and men of deep religious faith.
