Famous quotes containing the words political and/or figures:
“Regna regnis lupi, The State is a wolf unto the State. It is not a pessimistic lamentation like the old homo homini lupus [Man is a wolf to Man], but a positive creed and political ideal.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
“But that wasnt fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, theyre the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (19021971)
