“Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs the world”. –Polykarp Kusch

“Let the people think they govern and they will be governed”. –William Penn

“The dead governs the living”. –Auguste Comte

“A democracy which makes, or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy”. –Aldous Huxley
