Political Positions

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or positions:

“Why, Sir, most schemes of political improvement are very laughable things.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
