Famous quotes containing the words dynasties and/or states:

    “All forms of government symbolize an immortal government, common to all dynasties and independent of numbers, perfect where two men exist, perfect where there is only one man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
