    As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity.... The march of God in the world, that is what the State is.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Among them was a Bishop, who
    Had lately been appointed to
    The balmy isle of Rum-ti-Foo,
    And Peter was his name.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
