Famous quotes containing the words summary and/or variants:

    “I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
