“Virtue makes us aim at the right end, and practical wisdom makes us take the right means.”

“A human being is a naturally political [animal].”

“The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.”

“Now, as a nation, we don't promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That's an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up.”

“The minorities are sometimes right. The majorities never.”

“Alike for the nation and the individual, the one indispensable requisite is character.”
