Law and Politics
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. [Select] No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach. [Select] William Cowper {Also in: Wealth and Poverty} It is odd, is it not, that a person's worth to society is measured by their wealth, when instead their wealth should be measured by their worth to society. [Select] A. Cygni {Also in: Wealth and Poverty} The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. [Select] I'm left on the right issues and right on what's left. Now that's an issue I left right in front of you to debate. [Select] This contract is so one-sided that I am astonished to find it written on both sides of the paper. [Select] Jeffrey Miller: Naked Promises (Lord Evershed) [Shop] They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. [Select] Benjamin Franklin {Also in: War and Peace} A man who seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society. [Select] A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never her age. [Select] Robert Frost {Also in: Men and Women} Jury: Twelve people who determine which client has the better lawyer. [Select] Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory. [Select] Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. [Select] I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. [Select] I think it would be a good idea. [Select] Mahatma Gandhi (when asked what he thought of Western civilization) The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within. [Select] Mahatma Gandhi {Also in: Vice and Virtue} Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. [Select] Mahatma Gandhi {Also in: Work and Recreation} How can you expect to govern a country that has two hundred and forty-six kinds of cheese? [Select] He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty. [Select] A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. [Select] Corruption is no stranger to Washington; it is a famous resident. [Select] Walter Goodman: All Honorable Men, 1963
