Governments should want and even crave the best possible scientific advice. With reliable knowledge come better decisions, fewer mistakes and more results achieved for each pound spent.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
Governments sometimes turn paranoid. And they fear things. And sometimes the thing they fear the most is the populace.
‐‐ John McAfee
Governments take too long to get things done and there are far too many varied interests at stake. If you were starting a business today and needed a partner, you would never choose a large bureaucratic institution like the government.
‐‐ Naveen Jain
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
Governments that invest billions in new hardware still find it hard to accept that they might benefit just as much from systematic innovation in such things as child development or cutting crime.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
Governments that try to shoot for a surplus hardly ever reach it.
‐‐ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Governments, whether right or left, have become commissioners-in-chief, nudging and cajoling networks into preferred business models without the slightest sensitivity or awareness of what the public wants or the TV industry is capable of.
‐‐ Armando Iannucci
Governments will always play a huge part in solving big problems. They set public policy and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them. They also fund basic research, which is a crucial component of the innovation that improves life for everyone.

Governor is not the position to have in Oklahoma. It is the head coach of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or Tulsa.
‐‐ J. C. Watts
Governor Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory said there were a great many white people in our country, and many more would come; that he wanted the land marked out so that the Indians and the white man could be separated.
‐‐ Chief Joseph
Governor Jan Brewer and the Arizona legislature have created an environment in Arizona where performing is no longer a neutral act. They have created an environment where they can convert the normal commercial interaction between artists and their fans into the means to apply this racist law.
‐‐ Zack de la Rocha
Governor Kempthorne of Idaho, our chairman of the National Governors Association, is doing a great job bringing all of the nation's governors together to work as partners with the federal government.
‐‐ James Douglas
Governor Palin leans far closer to 'spokesperson' than representative of the people.
‐‐ Adam McKay
Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man and to be a good husband. Not only does he have to take care of his own family, but the state of Texas.
‐‐ Marcus Luttrell
Governor Romney has a great business background. He is extremely well educated. He has several degrees from Harvard, including, you know, business and including a law degree.
‐‐ Clint Eastwood
Governor Romney has a record of tremendous accomplishments. But he never asks for accolades. He just asks, 'How can I help?' That's the mark of a true leader: A humble focus on getting the job done.
‐‐ Reince Priebus
Governor Romney has paid 100 percent of his taxes that are owed. He has complied 100 percent with what the law requires.
‐‐ Jason Chaffetz
Governor Romney has said nothing about preschool. I think that giving the poorest kids in America wonderful preschool, and three years of it, starting when they are two-and-a-half, is absolutely crucial.
‐‐ Jonathan Kozol
Governor Romney is a good debater.
‐‐ Jim Talent
Governor Romney is a real hardliner on illegal immigration.
‐‐ Mario Diaz-Balart
Governor Scott Walker didn't know who he was messing with when he picked a fight with the hard-working union folks of Wisconsin. He must have forgotten that Wisconsin is the Badger State. And badgers are scrappy little creatures. We may look cute, warm and fuzzy, but we have a fighting spirit.
‐‐ Gwen Moore
Governor, why wouldn't anyone want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, unless they detested their own country or were ignorant of its greatness?
‐‐ Sean Hannity
Governors, all things being equal, I'd rather have a governor in the White House than somebody that's not had that experience.
‐‐ Matt Mead
Governors compete. States compete. People & businesses decide.
‐‐ Doug Ducey
Governors normally have jurisdiction over public health emergencies, but a widespread biological attack would cross state boundaries.
‐‐ Barton Gellman
Governors of both political parties face a stark choice between unpopular tax increases and drastic cuts in Medicaid, education, public safety and other essential services.
‐‐ Bill Delahunt
Governors sometimes have a hard time jumping up on a table and yelling the loudest because they've actually been there. They realize it's difficult to govern in a split environment.
‐‐ Bill Haslam
GPS is expensive because it is a very slow communication channel - you need to communicate with three or four satellites for an extended duration at 50 bits per second.
‐‐ Robert Love
GPS's battery draining behavior is most noticeable during the initial acquisition of the satellite's navigation message: the satellite's state, ephemeris, and almanac.
‐‐ Robert Love
GPS works great. I recommend it for all cat owners who want to know what their cats do when they're not there, if you can stand the ridicule from your friends.
‐‐ Caroline Paul
'GQ,' you've been patiently and stylishly educating me forever. To be truly stylish, you have to be kind and courteous.
‐‐ Douglas Booth
Grab a chance and you won't be sorry for a might-have-been.
‐‐ Arthur Ransome
Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.
‐‐ Zora Neale Hurston
Grace can and does have a history.
‐‐ Karl Rahner
Grace is a much more accurate word to use when dealing with the state of human existence. God gives us unmerited favor through Jesus Christ, and since Adam and Eve, our lives have depended on it.
‐‐ Monica Johnson
Grace is above praise and blame. I never read the bad stuff people write, but I never read the good stuff, either. Ever. I know who I am, and I know that God looks down on me and smiles. I know that - without a shadow of a doubt.
‐‐ Suze Orman
Grace is available for each of us every day - our spiritual daily bread - but we've got to remember to ask for it with a grateful heart and not worry about whether there will be enough for tomorrow.
‐‐ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.
‐‐ Jonathan Edwards
Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.
‐‐ Karl Rahner
Grace is given of god, but knowledge is bought in the market.
‐‐ Arthur Hugh Clough
Grace is God as heart surgeon, cracking open your chest, removing your heart - poisoned as it is with pride and pain - and replacing it with his own.
‐‐ Max Lucado
Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners; beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies; but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation.
‐‐ Joseph Joubert
Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
‐‐ Pope Francis
Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.
‐‐ Brennan Manning
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
‐‐ Friedrich Schiller
Grace is the divine assistance or heavenly help each of us desperately needs to qualify for the celestial kingdom. Thus, the enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity.
‐‐ David A. Bednar
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
‐‐ Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.
‐‐ Tullian Tchividjian
Grace Jones was an influence, because I was like, 'These shoulders! These pants! Girls can wear pants and be awesome.' That's something I definitely embody.
‐‐ Lorde
Grace Kelly is my main inspiration, for her timeless beauty. I like Jennifer Lawrence for her fun, down-to-earth style, and Taylor Swift is always elegant.
