Aristophanes Quote

Mix and knead together all the state business as you do for your sausages. To win the people, always cook them some savory that pleases them. Besides, you possess all the attributes of a demagogue; a screeching, horrible voice, a perverse, cross-grained nature and the language of the market-place. In you all is united which is needful for governing.

Knights, line 214-219, Demosthenes speaking to the Sausage-Seller - Knights (424 BC) [tr. O'Neill 1938, Perseus]
