It is vain to expect a well-balanced government without a well-balanced society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A healthy democracy requires a decent society; it requires that we are honorable, generous, tolerant and respectful.
Society may be likened to a rod, which only a just government can balance properly.
When you have a new government assume power, everyone, without exception, has to work for the benefit of the common good.
We are all imperfect. We can not expect perfect government.
Good government is the outcome of private virtue.
Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.
A good government remains the greatest of human blessings and no nation has ever enjoyed it.
There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.
A well balanced, inclusive approach, according to certain standards and ideals, is essential for the proper governance of any country.
The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority.
