State Quotes
-
A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.
Martin Luther -
A State would be happy where philosophers were kings, or kings philosophers.
Plato
-
Thus we cannot escape the fact that the world we know is constructed in order to see itself. This is indeed amazing. Not so much in view of what it sees, although this may appear fantastic enough, but in respect of the fact that it can see at all. But in order to do so, evidently it must first cut itself up into a least one state which sees, and at least one other state which is seen.
George Spencer-Brown -
In my dreams is a country where the State is the Church and the Church the people: three in one and one in three. It is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. It is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. It is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.
George Bernard Shaw -
Man must never be treated as a means to the end of the state, but always as an end within himself.
Martin Luther King, Jr. -
It is rare and very inspiring that a head of state would make such an investment of time to write a book like this.

Bill Lee -
The state represents violence in a concentrated and organize form.
Mahatma Gandhi -
In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.

Right now, no sane and unbiased person would be so stupid as to doubt that the North Korean state is very repressive.
Andrei Lankov -
It is not the ownership of the instruments of production which it is important for the State to assume. If the State is able to determine the aggregate amount of resources devoted to augmenting the instruments and the basic rate of reward to those who own them, it will have accomplished all that is necessary. Moreover, the necessary measures of socialization can be introduced gradually and without a break in the general traditions of society.
John Maynard Keynes

Annie Lennox Eurythmics -
Last year I was on Pat Robertson's show, and we discussed our basic Christian faith - for instance, separation of church and state. It's contrary to my beliefs to try to exalt Christianity as having some sort of preferential status in the United States. That violates the Constitution. I'm not in favor of mandatory prayer in school or of using public funds to finance religious education.
Jimmy Carter -
It may pass for a maxim in State, that the administration cannot be placed in too few hands, nor the legislature in too many.
Jonathan Swift -
A small state increases by concord; the greatest falls gradually to ruin by dissension.
Sallust -
A thousand years may scare form a state. An hour may lay it in ruins.
Lord Byron
-
The modern state no longer has anything but rights; it does not recognize duties any more.
Georges Bernanos -
I try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
Johnny Depp -
To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment.
