George Washington The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. George Washington Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life. Oscar Wilde The basis of optimism is sheer terror. Oscar Wilde Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them. Thomas Paine In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships. Alexis de Tocqueville Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
