"The most civilized people are as near to barbarism as the most polished steel is to rust. Nations, like metals, have only a superficial brilliancy." -- Antoine de Rivarol [thanks to [info] blueeowyn]

"[Any nation|A society] is only three meals away from [anarchy|revolution]" -- appears in various forms, no definitive source identified for any (though Plato, Trotsky, and Niven are suggested as possibilities in various places)
