Governments follow their people. A great deal has to do with the vision of the leadership of governments. They have a vision, and they translate that to their people and to their counterparts in other countries. You can fulfill and achieve a great deal if you get along well as individuals, as people, as persons.

Treating people fairly and with civility is not a bad thing... It would be good for our country if political leaders actually took that to heart.

A government is for the benefit of all the people.

The chief duty of government is to keep the peace and stand out of the sunshine of the people.

An order of government, established by such an all-wise, powerful being, must be good and perfect, and must be calculated to promote the permanent peace, happiness, and well-being of all his subjects.

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

My government is working for the common man. Our priority is the poor of the country. We want good governance through a dynamic and seamless government.

All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.

We are lucky to have Manmohan Singh as our Prime Minister. We could not have done without a person and leader of the choice as Manmohan Singh, who gets all international attention.
