Famous quotes containing the words ethiopian, democratic, unity and/or party:

    “The Ethiopian cannot change his skin nor the leopard his spots.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “One reason—perhaps the chief—of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that because they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.”
    —Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
