Folded State

Famous quotes containing the words folded and/or state:

    Romance, who loves to nod and sing,
    With drowsy head and folded wing,
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Governments which have a regard to the common interest are constituted in accordance with strict principles of justice, and are therefore true forms; but those which regard only the interest of the rulers are all defective and perverted forms, for they are despotic, whereas a state is a community of freemen.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
