1. Confucius
 Living in a country which governs with a virtuous people will lead to a righteous
and worthy country. On the other hand, living with a corrupt people will lead to
unjust and useless country. That is why we can’t blame the citizens on who they
want to obey. Because they are depending on how government leads the
country.
2. Lao Tzu
 Everyone is seeking for learnings, riches, and power but there are some people
that chooses to be contented and happy at same time. Because most of the
people who achieve the money and power they want, turns into horrible person.
Like the people in the government, they already have the power but instead of
using it in a good way, they use it to control the people and some how they are
the one who lead the country into miserable nation.
3. Mencius
“He who gains the hearts of the people gains the throne and he who loses the hearts of
the people loses the throne”
 Winning the heart of people is like winning the trust of people. In order for you to
get what you want; you should focus on what’s your citizen like to make them
happy. Because by doing that, you can get their support and loyalty. But if you
choose to disappoint and oppose them, they will lose their trust in you and it will
lead you to nothing. Because a good leader chooses the welfare and what’s best
for its people not for themselves.
4. Man Is The Measure Of All Things Analysis - 1032 Words | Cram
 Man is the one who created first. Therefore, man has the control over what will
happen next. Because they are the one who’s responsible on all the action they
made in the world. Whatever they made good or bad, whatever their decision is,
it will affect everything and become the standards of all things. We claim that
man has control over the things he creates, just as we say about the government
and its citizens, every decision that made by the government officials will
influence its people.
5. There will be no end to the troubles of the state, or indeed . . . of humanity itself, till
philosophers become king in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly
become philosophers . . . there is no other road to happiness, either for society or the individual
 Anyone can be philosopher in his/her own way, but not everyone is seeking for wisdom.
A philosopher is the one who look at the world in wonder, they live the life of reasonings
and they are not satisfied on the available knowledge, they believed that there is more
knowledge we have to know. That is why we can only see the peace, joy and unity of the
country if they are the one who lead, because they will not stop looking for a better
solution to a problem. Not those who make a problem and seek what is good for
themselves rather than to its countrymen.
6. Aristotle's famous claimed that "man is by nature a political animal" - Political Science Discussion Forums | Saylor Academy
 Political is politicians, Animal is the people. Politicians is the one who make the
rules while people are the one who follow the rules. Human is being compared to
animals because human have their own strengths and weaknesses, there are
quiet like fish but brave like tiger, which is similar with the characteristics of
humans. Lastly, Animals needs guide of human in order to be discipline, as well
as human needs government in order to be organize.
7. We are servants of the law in order that we may be free
 Obeying the law is one of the main aspects in order for us to have a peaceful country. It
only means that following the rules which is good for everyone help us to do what we
want. Because government will no longer be strict with their people and they could not
think of making another law that would forbid people to do what they wanted. That’s is
why its better to obey rather than rebel.
8. “Politics must be judged only by their results.”
 They were saying that “Don’t judge a book by its cover ‘til you’ve read the book”
(Jamie Lee Curtis). It is just similar with the politics; we should not judge the
politics according to their mistakes because like a book, there is a plot and
conflict. There is no perfect politics in the world, but there is a perfect politics if
the government and its people support each other. Result will not be seen at the
beginning; we should wait, cooperate and help in order to have a positive result.
