[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.
more John Adams quotes
One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.
more Milton Friedman quotes

more Gustave Le Bon quotes

more Lucius Annaeus Seneca quotes
Don't ask for what you'll wish you hadn't got.
more Lucius Annaeus Seneca quotes
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
more Lucius Annaeus Seneca quotes
