• They should rule who are able to rule best. – Aristotle
• This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are. – Plato
• A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange…. Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship. – Aristotle
• The basis of a democratic state is liberty. – Aristotle
• Democracy… is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike. – Plato

• That judges of important causes should hold office for life is a disputable thing, for the mind grows old as well as the body. – Aristotle
• Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered. – Aristotle
• There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands. – Plato
• One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. – Plato
