In the field of international relations, the President alone has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation. He makes treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate; but he alone negotiates. Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude; and Congress itself is powerless to invade it. ~ Justice George Sutherland [T]he power system continues only as long as individuals try to get something for nothing. The day when a majority of individuals declares or acts as if it wants nothing from the government, declares that it will look after its own welfare and interests, then on that day the power elites are doomed.~ Anthony Sutton The proverb warns that 'You should not bite the hand that feeds you.' But maybe you should if it prevents you from feeding yourself.~ Thomas Szasz The battle for the world is the battle for definitions.~ Thomas Szasz In the struggle between those seeking power there is no middle course.~ Cornelius Tacitus The lust for power in dominating others inflames the heart more than any other passion.~ Cornelius Tacitus The lust for power, for dominating others, inflames the heart more than any other passion.~ Cornelius Tacitus Every Republican candidate for President since 1936 has been nominated by the Chase National Bank.~ Robert A. Taft You see what power is -- holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!~ Amy Tan If the means to which the government of the union may resort for executing the power confided to it, are unlimited, it may easily select such as will impair or destroy the powers confided to the state governments.~ John Taylor That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.~ Tennessee Constitution Augustus won over the soldiers with gifts, the populace with cheap corn, and all men with the sweets of repose, and so grew greater by degrees, while he concentrated in himself the functions of the Senate, the magistrates, and the laws. He was wholly unopposed, for the boldest spirits had fallen in battle, or in the proscription, while the remaining nobles, the readier they were to be slaves, were raised the higher by wealth and promotion, so that, aggrandised by revolution, they preferred the safety of the present to the dangerous past.~ The Annals of Tacitus If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.~ The Holy Bible Take no usury of him, or increase... thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury.~ The Holy Bible Unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: That the Lord thy God bless thee.~ The Holy Bible For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.~ The Holy Bible For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.~ The Holy Bible Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.~ The Holy Bible If that mischievous financial policy which had its origin in the North American Republic [i.e., honest Constitutionally authorized debt-free money] should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without a debt (to the International Bankers). It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe!~ The Times of London Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
