Civil Servants

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or servants:

    Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Where I found the living, there I found the will to power; even in the will of servants I found the will to be master.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
