Quote #4 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Elections and Capitalism

“As soon as public service ceases to be the chief business of the citizens, and they would rather serve with their money than with their persons, the State is not far from its fall.... By reason of idleness and money, they end by having soldiers to enthralled their country and representatives to sell it.”
