States have always needed intellectuals to con the public into believing that its rule is wise, good, and inevitable
Murray Rothbard
Image
States can be deterred by the fear of retaliation non-state organisations cannot by deterred at all.
John Bruton
Image
States are more like people than they are like anything else: they exist by purpose, reason, suffering, and joy. And peace between states is also like peace between people. It involves the willing renunciation of purpose, in the mutual desire not to do, but to be.
Roger Scruton
Image

States get to improve transportation infrastructure that creates economic development, puts people back to work and, most important, enhances safety and improves local communities.
Corrine Brown
Image
States can be more or less democratic, and so can socialism. I think any ideal society that exists on a large scale, which is what we most likely have in store for us as a human race, will involve some aspects of socialism.
Cynthia Kauffman
Image
States, as great engines, move slowly.
Francis Bacon
Image
States, like men, have their growth, their manhood, their decrepitude, their decay.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
States strong enough to do good are but few. Their number would seem limited to three.

States are doomed when they are unable to distinguish good men from bad.
Antisthenes

States have the responsibility to create rules and conditions for growth and development, and to channel the benefits to all citizens by providing education and making people able to participate in the economies, and in decision-making.

States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
