Trusted/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words trusted and/or philosophy:

    Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

    Nature in darkness groans
    And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
    Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
    Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
    Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
