Quote by Alexander Pope

Party-spirit at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

Party-spirit at best is but the madness of many for the gain

Summary

The quote suggests that party-spirit, or blind loyalty to a particular political party or group, is ultimately futile and serves only the interests of a select few. It implies that the collective madness and irrationality exhibited by many supporters are exploited by a small number of individuals in positions of power who manipulate the popular sentiment for their own gain. The quote underscores the idea that party loyalty can cloud judgment, impede critical thinking, and lead to the perpetuation of inequitable systems controlled by an elite minority.

The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely

The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until some one is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, etc. the people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go.
