    “Let us not deny it up and down. Providence has a wild, rough, incalculable road to its end, and it is of no use to try to whitewash its huge, mixed instrumentalities, or to dress up that terrific benefactor in a clean shirt and white neckcloth of a student of divinity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A state ... arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
