Give me the fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself. Vilfredo Pareto
The diverse natures of men, combined with the necessity to satisfy in some manner the sentiment which desires them to be equal, has had the result that in the democracies they have endeavored to provide the appearance of power in the people and the reality of power in an elite. Vilfredo Pareto
Vilfredo Pareto quote: "For a very long time, and among a large number of peoples,..."
For a very long time, and among a large number of peoples, political power has belonged to the owners of the land. Vilfredo Pareto
Men follow their sentiments and their self-interest, but it pleases them to imagine that they follow reason. And so they look for, and always find, some theory which, a posteriori, makes their actions appear to be logical. If that theory could be demolished scientifically, the only result would be that another theory would be substituted for the first one, and for the same purpose. Vilfredo Pareto
It is a know fact that almost all revolutions have been the work, not of the common people, but of the aristocracy, and especially of the decayed part of the aristocracy. Vilfredo Pareto
Vilfredo Pareto quote: "When it is useful to them, men can believe a theory of which..."
When it is useful to them, men can believe a theory of which they know nothing more than its name. Vilfredo Pareto
Increase in the wealth per capita fosters democracy; but the latter, at least according to what we have been able to observe up to now, entails great destruction of wealth and even eventually dries up the sources of it. Hence it is its own grave-digger, it destroys what gave it birth. Vilfredo Pareto
Assume that the new elite were clearly and simply to proclaim its intentions which are to supplant the old elite; no one would come to its assistance, it would be defeated before having fought a battle. On the contrary, it appears to be asking nothing for itself, well knowing that without asking anything in advance it will obtain what it wants as a consequence of its victory. Vilfredo Pareto
Vilfredo Pareto quote: "Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with..."
Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. Vilfredo Pareto
