Famous quotes containing the word rulers:

    “I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? We walk to lakes to see our serenity reflected in them; when we are not serene, we go not to them. Who can be serene in a country where both the rulers and the ruled are without principle? The remembrance of my country spoils my walk. My thoughts are murder to the State, and involuntarily go plotting against her.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “They lived under a just and moderate government, and they admitted that one bond of their fidelity was that their rulers were the better men.”
    —Titus Livius (Livy)
