Those that deem politics beneath their dignity are doomed to be governed by those of lesser talents.
Aristotle
In the first place, then, men should guard against the beginning of change, and in the second place they should not rely upon the political devices of which I have already spoken invented only to deceive the people, for they are proved by experience to be useless.
Aristotle
Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.
Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
