Famous quotes containing the words political and/or views:
“Man is by nature a political animal.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books. Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the book-worm.”
