“The art of those who govern consists above all in the science of employing words.”

“The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.”

“Thus, seeking to produce a typology of forms of the art of government, La Mothe Le Vayer, in a text from the following century (consisting of educational writings intended for the French Dauphin), says that there are three fundamental types of government, each of which relates to a particular science or discipline: the art of self-government, connected with morality; the art of properly governing a family, which belongs to economy; and finally the science of ruling the state, which concerns politics. What matters, notwithstanding this typology, is that the art of government is always characterized by the essential continuity of one type with the other, and of second type with the third.”

“Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet”

“True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.”

“In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.”
