I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry; that's its highest and best application.
The pursuit of happiness is in our Constitution. We're all entitled to have the best we can.
I think the government has a role in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens.
Love, work, and knowledge are the wellsprings of our lives, they should also govern it.
Government is connected to everything we do.
I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.
The happiness of society is the end of government.
Could a government dare to set out with happiness as its goal? Now that there are accepted scientific proofs, it would be easy to audit the progress of national happiness annually, just as we monitor money and GDP.
We believe, as our founders did, that 'the pursuit of happiness' depends upon individual liberty; and individual liberty requires limited government.
