“I would have to ask the public to choose between a culture of hate or a culture of love.”
Imelda Marcos (1929) Former First Lady of the Philippines
On establishing the Marcos Foundation, as quoted in The Philippine Daily Inquirer (December 1998).
Context: I would have to ask the public to choose between a culture of hate or a culture of love. I am sure our poor will pick the latter. With the Marcos assets, we could regain this value of sharing love with one another.

Frances Wright (1795–1852) American activist
Letter (1820), quoted in "The Red Harlot of Liberty: The Rise and Fall of Frances Wright" by Kimberly Nichols in Newtopia Magazine (15 May 2013)
Context: Is not an hereditary nobility inconsistent with liberty? I will ask more, is it not inconsistent with public virtue? Not only does it lodge authority with the unskillful but with those whose interest it is to abuse it. It does more – it degrades the minds of men, it corrupts their hearts and debases their understanding, leading them to attach honor and to yield respect to something else than talent and virtue.
Jimmy Carter (1924) American politician, 39th president of the United States (in office from 1977 to 1981)
