Political Neutrality

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or neutrality:

    “History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.”
    —Milton Friedman (b. 1912)

    “My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
