“So the state founded on natural principles is wise as a whole in virtue of the knowledge inherent in its smallest constituent class, which exercises authority over the rest. And the smallest class is the one which naturally possesses that form of knowledge which alone of all others deserves the title of wisdom.”

“A right judgment draws us a profit from all things we see .”

“A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contently.”

“In that kind of environment, where there's so much skepticism about information that's coming in, we're gonna have to spend a lot more time thinking about how do we protect our democratic process.”

“Don't overestimate the decency of the human race.”
