Famous quotes containing the words nature of, nature, green and/or politics:

    It is the nature of our desires to be boundless, and many live only to gratify them. But for this purpose the first object is, not so much to establish an equality of fortune, as to prevent those who are of a good disposition from desiring more than their own, and those who are of a bad one from being able to acquire it; and this may be done if they are kept in an inferior station, and not exposed to injustice.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    Theories that go counter to the facts of human nature are foredoomed.
    Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)

    I have seen a green country, useful to the race,
    Knocked silly with guns and mines, its villages vanished,
    Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)

    They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
