Adam Smith
“There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Philippe Sands
“Lauterpacht's intellectual development coincided with this crucial moment. Engaged n Zionist activity, he nevertheless feared nationalism. The philosopher Martin Buber, who lectured and led in Lemberg became an intellectual influence, opposing Zionism as a form of abhorrent nationalism and holding to the view that a Jewish state in Palestine would inevitably oppress the Arab inhabitants. Lauterpacht attended Buber's lectures and found himself attracted to such ideas, identifying himself as a disciple of Buber's. This was an early fluting of skepticism about the power of the state.”
Philippe Sands, East West Street: On the Origins of "Genocide" and "Crimes Against Humanity"

Thucydides
“The way that most men deal with traditions, even traditions of their own country, is to receive them all alike as they are delivered, without applying any critical test whatever.”
Thucydides, The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War
