Benjamin Disraeli

The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience, a greater maturity of practical reason, and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time.

Muhammad Iqbal

A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Alexis de Tocqueville
