Ehsan Sehgal
“The law, the constitution, or the manifesto of political parties is similar to two sets of teeth, like an elephant, one for eating and one for floating. Forget human rights, transparent justice, neutrality, fairness, sincerity, and honesty since they only exist in books, not in practice; it is a bitter reality that the world is a trade chamber, and we live and breathe in it with our interests.”
Ehsan Sehgal

Barry M. Goldwater
“The constitution is: a system of restraints against the natural tendency of government to expand in the direction of absolutism.”
Barry Goldwater
