“Just as in the music of harps and flutes or in the voices of singers a certain harmony of the different tones must be maintained . . . So also a state is made harmonious by agreement among dissimilar elements. This is brought about by a fair and reasonable blending of the upper, middle and lower classes, just as if they were musical tones. What musicians call harmony in song is concord in state.”
-Cicero
“Order is the dream of man while chaos is the reality of nature.”
- Henry Brooks Adams
Listen to this goy kvetch . . . Or don't.
