Famous quotes containing the words political, institutions, ancient and/or rome:

    “In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “So far as laws and institutions avail, men should have equality of opportunity for happiness; that is, of education, wealth, power. These make happiness secure. An equal diffusion of happiness so far as laws and institutions avail.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The mouth of the drowned dog. After long rain the land
    Was sodden as the bed of an ancient lake,
    Treed with iron and birdless.”
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    “What is there in Rome for me to see that others have not seen before me? What is there for me to touch that others have not touched? What is there for me to feel, to learn, to hear, to know, that shall thrill me before it pass to others? What can I discover?—Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. One charm of travel dies here.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
