Friedrich Engels
“The English bourgeoisie is charitable out of self-interest; it gives nothing outright, but regards its gifts as a business matter, makes a bargain with the poor, saying: "If I spend this much upon benevolent institutions, I thereby purchase the right not to be troubled any further, and you are bound thereby to stay in your dusky holes and not to irritate my tender nerves by exposing your misery.”
Friedrich Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England

Karl Marx
“The bourgeoisie, in truth, is bound to fear the stupidity of the masses so long as they remain conservative, and the insight of the masses as soon as they become revolutionary.”
Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

Lyndon B. Johnson
“Better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.”
Lyndon B. Johnson

Frederick the Great
“If I wished to punish a province, I would have it governed by philosophers.”
Frederick the Great

Karl Marx
“Every demand for the most simple bourgeois financial reform, for the most ordinary liberalism, for the most commonplace republicanism, for the flattest democracy, is forthwith punished as an "assault upon society," and is branded as "Socialism”
Karl Marx, Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
