Terrorists in ungoverned spaces - both physical and cyber - readily disseminate propaganda and training materials to attract easily influenced individuals around the world to their cause. They motivate these individuals to act at home or encourage them to travel.

Christopher A. Wray

Our nation is built on the bedrock principle that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Adrian Cronauer

The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. Or, what's impossible? What's a fantasy?

Alan Rickman

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

Alan Rickman

I think the law should be comprehensible not only to those who work with it but also to those who are governed by it.

Alan Siegel

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

Aldous Huxley

Men are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse of passion.

Alexander Hamilton

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.

Alexander Hamilton

We have a political culture of intimidation, of favoring, of patronage, and of fear, and that is no way for a community to be governed.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

A general presumption that Icings will govern well, is not a sufficient security to the People... those who subjected themselves to the will of a man were governed by a beast.

Algernon Sidney

In the seventeenth century, the science of medicine had not wholly cut asunder from astrology and necromancy; and the trusting Christian still believed in some occult influences, chiefly planetary, which governed not only his crops but his health and life.

Alice Morse Earle

The main factors in terms of how tiring a season can be are governed by the number of races and the length of time between the first and the last.

Allan McNish

India does not encourage - India has forbidden - child labour. We are a rule-based and rule-governed country.

Anand Sharma

I think parenting is very different now. We're totally governed by our children!

Andy Serkis

The bed is now as public as the dinner table and governed by the same rules of formal confrontation.

Angela Carter

We need a sustainable system of student finance that promotes opportunity, encourages aspiration, increases social mobility and is governed by fairness. But all the Tories can offer is unsustainable, mounting debt, punishing students for wanting an education. And discouraging thousands of young people from climbing the ladder to a better life.

Angela Rayner

Democracy is a device that ensures the people shall be governed no better than they deserve.

Anthony Scaramucci

The prime communities of the Southwest are survival communities. Their sustenance is governed by rainfall and wind direction. You can study little enclaves of plant materials, how they huddle together for protection. Some are nurse crops.

Antoine Predock

Originalism is sort of subspecies of textualism. Textualism means you are governed by the text. That's the only thing that is relevant to your decision, not whether the outcome is desirable, not whether legislative history says this or that. But the text of the statute.

Antonin Scalia

Israel is a society governed by the rule of law.

Ariel Sharon

Many people say that we have sufficient laws in our country, just that they are not implemented properly. I completely disagree with them. I have studied many of the laws very carefully. We are still being governed by the same colonial laws which existed in British times. They have not been changed. Many of these laws need to be changed.
