en People like me who believe the left can be a moderate force—we have failed. We are stuck in the medieval notion that there is an aristocracy and a people, and the people want a piece of what the aristocracy had—a life subsidized enough to have a minimum of work and a maximum of pleasure.

en Today we frankly recognize that democracy can be no more than aspiration, and have rule not so much by the people as by the cleverest people; not an aristocracy of birth, not a plutocracy of wealth, but a true meritocracy of talent.

en There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.
  Thomas Jefferson

en [Free agency can be traced back to the 1980s, when corporate America sought to trim the fat by casting off its work force en masse, says Pink. Those jettisoned were left to find work for themselves; those lucky enough to keep their jobs were left to worry if they'd be next. Amidst it all, the bond between worker and employer weakened as people realized they were so much unappreciated chattel.] People's expectations from corporate America have waned, ... People want money and meaning from work.

en Common sense, in so far as it exists, is all for the bourgeoisie. Nonsense is the privilege of the aristocracy. The worries of the world are for the common people.

en One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
  Albert Einstein

en The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.
  P. J. O'Rourke

en You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in ''the people'.' One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.
  D.H. Lawrence

en A lot of them were really stuck in their ways and felt there was no reason to leave. I think of everybody I talked to, nobody left. I persuaded a lot of people to go to the Superdome. Of course, you worry about the people, especially the elderly people. My prayers are with them.

en Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." Today, instead, the aristocracy of the corporation has grown to full maturity, wielding power over the state and its laws in the service of corporate aims.

en It says that [if] the crab industry can't find people to work for minimum wage, they can bring in people and their families can come in. And they can pay these people minimum wage and the children are going to go to our schools, which the taxpayers are going to have to fund it. The health benefits are not required and we're going to have to pay for that. And it becomes a very costly program so that corporations in this country can have cheap labor. We should not have to pay for their cheap labor.

en I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
  Anita Baker

Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

en I know if it shocked me, it shocks low- and moderate-income people, especially people who have to travel an hour and a half back and forth to work. There are certain low-income people that clearly are going to be devastated by the oil prices. If we can help them, we should come to their defense.
