Famous quotes containing the word state:

“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
