A pure democracy is a society consisting of a small number of citizens who assemble and administer the government in person.

We don't need a weakened government but a strong government that would take responsibility for the rights of the individual and care for the society as a whole.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.

The instant formal government is abolished society begins to act. A general association takes place and common interest produces common security.

Suspicion is the companion of mean souls and the bane of all good society.

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society it is a good thing if you possess great talent to give early in your youth a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that be a snob.

Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don't succeed you won't be in your profession for long. In our society it's not about good or bad. It's about who's on top.

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
