[Quote No.58033] Need Area: Friends > General
"Politics I take to be the activity of attending to the general arrangements of a set of people whom chance or choice have brought together. In this sense, families, clubs, and learned societies have their ‘politics’. But the communities in which this manner of activities is pre-eminent are the hereditary co-operative groups, many of them of ancient lineage, all of them aware of a past, a present and a future, which we call states. For most people, political activity is a secondary activity – that is to say, they have something else to do beside attending to these arrangements. But the activity is one which every member of the group who is not a child nor a lunatic has some part and some responsibility. " - Michael Oakshott

[Quote No.58108] Need Area: Friends > General
"Gentlemen, the time is coming when there will be two great classes, Socialists, and Anarchists. The Anarchists want the government [power] to be nothing, and the Socialists want government [power] to be everything. There can be no greater contrast. Well, the time will come when there will be only these two great parties, the Anarchists representing the laissez faire doctrine and the Socialists representing the extreme view on the other side, and when that time comes I am an Anarchist [for individual power and freedom rather than for an all-powerful government which doesn't allow any individual power or freedom]." - William Graham Sumner
(1840-1910) American academic and professor at Yale College. Source: quoted in Mark Thornton, 'The Economics of Prohibition' (University of Utah Press, 1991), p. 17.
