State Water

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or water:

    Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms; but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    To get wealth and security by guile
    Is like one who pours water into a pot of unbaked clay.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
