Society is the union of men, and not men themselves; the citizen may
perish, and yet man may remain.--_Montesquieu._
There are four varieties in society; the lovers, the ambitious,
observers, and fools. The fools are the happiest.--_Taine._
Society is the offspring of leisure; and to acquire this forms the only
rational motive for accumulating wealth, notwithstanding the cant that
prevails on the subject of labor.--_Tuckerman._
