"The state or political community, which is..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The art of wealth-getting which consists in household management, on the one hand, has a limit; the unlimited acquisition of wealth is not its business. And therefore, in one point of view, all riches must have a limit; nevertheless, as a matter of fact, we find the opposite to be the case; for all getters of wealth increase their hard coin without limit.”

“A right election can only be made by those who have knowledge.”

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

“The less government we have the better.”

“The difference between a policy and a crusade is that a policy is judged by its results, while a crusade is judged by how good it makes its crusaders feel.”

“Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.”

“I believe no satirist could breathe this air. If another Juvenal or Swift could rise up among us tomorrow, he would be hunted down. If you have any knowledge of our literature, and can give me the name of any man, American born and bred, who has anatomised our follies as a people, and not as this or that party; and who has escaped the foulest and most brutal slander, the most inveterate hatred and intolerant pursuit; it will be a strange name in my ears, believe me.”

“Ladies and gentlemen are permitted to have friends in the kennel, but not in the kitchen.”

“There is not the hundredth part of the wine consumed in this kingdom that there ought to be. Our foggy climate wants help.”
