I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them
think.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the
soul with evil.

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in
politics is that you end up being governed by your
inferiors.”-Plato

Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and
disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals
alike. Dictatorship naturally arises out of
democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme
liberty.

The most qualified people are those who have trained
themselves to rule.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory
over self.

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for
himself, must be either a beast or a god.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion
to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider
god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move
against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

During the time men live without a common power to keep them
all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such
a war, as if of every man, against every man.

A man's conscience and his judgement is the same thing;
and as the judgement, so also the conscience, may be
erroneous.

I have always thought the actions of men the best
interpreters of their thoughts.

can.

Author: A fool, who, not content with having bored those who have lived with him, insists on tormenting the generations to
come.

The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy
of a citizen in a democracy.

The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and range. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. With the increasing value of the world of things proceeds in direct proportion to the devaluation of the world of men. Labour produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as a commodity -- and does so in the proportion in which it produces commodities generally.
