Every country is renewed out of the ranks of the unknown, not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The beginning of reform is not so much to equalize property as to train the noble sort of natures not to desire more, and to prevent the lower from getting more.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“True, we’re not great thieves, like the nobles. Our robberies are petty compared to the wholesale plunder of the nation.”
