Political Quotations

An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
Albert Einstein

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
Ayn Rand

The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.
Aristotle

Ernest Hemingway
