Lucky Lines

Famous quotes containing the words lucky and/or lines:

    Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
    Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

    When the rose reigns, and locks with ointments shine,
    Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine.
