There's 2 million Palestinians that govern themselves. They have their own parliament, their own government, their own elections, their own tax system. I don't want to govern the Palestinians; no one does. They already govern themselves.

Naftali Bennett

Those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them.

Steven Pressfield

Do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them.

Cormac McCarthy

Some women govern their husbands without degrading themselves, because intellect will always govern.

Mary Wollstonecraft

It is in Israel's interest not to govern the Palestinians but for the Palestinians to govern themselves in their own state.

It may be that the human race is not ready for freedom. The air of liberty may be too rarefied for us to breathe... The paradox seems to be, as Socrates demonstrated long ago, that the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them.

Steven Pressfield

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself, and apply myself to them if they will not apply themselves to me.

Michel de Montaigne

Not by the forces of civil war can you govern the very weakest woman. You can kill that woman, but she escapes you then; you cannot govern her. No power on earth can govern a human being, however feeble, who withholds his or her consent.

Emmeline Pankhurst

A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason

Hugo Grotius

It is easier to find people fit to govern themselves than people fit to govern others.

Lord Acton

Our global institutional arrangements - the basic ground rules that govern our world economy - are human-made. They don't exist naturally, nor are they God-given. We make these rules, those of the WTO [World Trade Organization] Treaty for instance, which fill tens of thousands of pages. These words have been strung together by human beings and are also interpreted and enforced by human beings.

Thomas Pogge

The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.

Themistocles

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

Pope Francis

I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

There is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.

Henry Ward Beecher

I think of America not so much as a single country but as a constellation of groups out there competing for air time, energetically expressing themselves and luxuriating in their right to govern themselves. Freedom is that great vaunted word that's always applied to our country - and rightly so.

Hampton Sides
