Famous quotes containing the words welfare and/or state:

    “That doctrine [of peace at any price] has done more mischief than any I can well recall that have been afloat in this country. It has occasioned more wars than any of the most ruthless conquerors. It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
