Stranica 102 - Further, the state is by nature clearly prior to the family and to the individual, since the whole is of necessity prior to the part...
Stranica 102 - The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not selfsufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god: he is no part of a state.
Stranica 25 - Yes; for it was not Zeus that had published me that edict; not such are the laws set among men by the Justice who dwells with the gods below; nor deemed I that thy decrees were of such force, that a mortal could override the unwritten and unfailing statutes of heaven. For their life is not of today or yesterday, but from all time, and no man knows when they were first put forth.
Stranica 103 - He who has the power to take part in the deliberative or judicial administration of any state is said by us to be a citizen of that state ; and speaking generally, a state is a body of citizens sufficing for the purposes of life.

Stranica 75 - The decrees of the Demos correspond to the edicts of the tyrant, and the demagogue is to the one what the flatterer is to the other.
Stranica 2 - When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite selfsufficing, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
Stranica 2 - It is further asked : When are men, living in the same place, to be regarded as a single city — what is the limit? Certainly not the wall of the city, for you might surround all Peloponnesus with a wall.
