A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity.
George Grenville
Because the worst of all worlds is when you pretend like you have an immigration policy, you make coming into the United States without our permission illegal, and then you actually don't enforce it.
Tom Tancredo
Chaperons don't enforce morality; they force immorality to be discreet.
Judith Martin
Chaperons, even in their days of glory, were almost never able to enforce morality; what they did was to force immorality to be discreet. This is no small contribution.
Judith Martin
Conflict is not inevitable, but disarmament is... everyone now accepts that if there is a default by Saddam the international community must act to enforce its will.
Tony Blair
For those broadcasters who are less than responsible, the FCC needs to have sharper teeth to enforce the law.
Fred Upton
I am not a proponent of the death penalty, but I will enforce the law as this Congress gives it to us.
Eric Holder
I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen.
James Meredith
It certainly makes no sense to enact more laws if we cannot, or do not, enforce the ones we have.
Blanche Lincoln
Jesus was not denying the legitimacy of biblical law. On the contrary, He was affirming biblical law. We love God first; God commands us to keep His word; therefore, we must enforce the law on ourselves.
Gary North
Likewise the leader of any state has to do the same, he has to enforce Shariah firmly, for he will be held in account later in the afterlife if he fails.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter.
Tom Daschle
Most kids will not volunteer to eat veggies. At times you must step up to the plate and enforce the rule of authority as a parent.
Lee Haney
One of my mottos not only just in skating but in life in general and I try to enforce it as well, is like no regrets and just like going for it.
Kristi Yamaguchi
Our government just won't enforce civil rights laws. The laws will be ignored.
Major Owens
The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn't good for democracy.
Chris Bell
The attractive idea that we can now have a parliament of man with authority to control the conduct of nations by legislation or an international police force with power to enforce national conformity to rules of right conduct is a counsel of perfection.
Elihu Root
The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
Abraham Lincoln
The less one knows, the more he thinks he knows, and the more willing he is to employ any and all measures to enforce his views upon others.
Paul Harris
The question is: how bad do things have to get before you will do something about it? Where is your line in the sand? If you don't enforce the constitutional limitations on your government very soon, you are likely to find out what World War III will be like.
