A country is considered the more civilised the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak and a powerful one too powerful.

Quote by Primo Levi, Italian chemist and author of memoirs, short stories, poems and novels, Holocaust's survivor, borned in July 31, 1919.

That's a powerful quote. I wish all our politicians can be made to read this aloud every day before they leave their homes so they will know what their true functions are.

I wish the same :D

How right the appointment of Levi. Since always the human being is weak, and tries to strengthen with the passage of time, if the laws make it weaker and ignorant, nothing will be left of it.

Indeed, thanks for your comment :D

Civilization must carry along both the poor and the rich.. Until both poor and rich feed in the same pot before civilization can take place in a country ...

Thank you for your comment :D
