Ideal System

Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or system:

“The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.”

“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances.

—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
