While researching for another article, I came upon some of my favorite quotes. Among them are a few from Plato, the Greek Philosopher.
My dad has adopted this one for himself: The Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you will end up being governed by your inferiors.
The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
There are three classes of men: lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor and lovers of gain.
This, and no other is the root from which a tyranny springs-when he first appears he is a protector
