“Man matures when he stops believing that politics solves his problems” is a saying that has been printed on many images.
   
The saying is from Colombian philosopher Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994), who wrote, “El hombre madura cuando deja de creer que la política le resuelve los problemas.” The saying appears to be from the two-volume Escolios a Un Texto Implicito (1977).
   
     
Wikipedia: Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Nicolás Gómez Dávila (locally [nikoˈlaz ˈɡomez ˈdaβila]; 18 May 1913 – 17 May 1994) was a Colombian philosopher.
 
Gómez Dávila’s fame began to spread only in the last few years before his death, particularly by way of German translations of his works. He was one of the most radical critics of modernity whose work consists almost entirely of aphorisms which he called “escolios” (“scholia” or “glosses”).
