Law and arbitrary power ordspråk

en Law and arbitrary power are at eternal enmity
  Edmund Burke

en A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations.

A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.

Those who take advantage of disorder and arbitrary rule are watching their mutually destructive fight.
  Vladimir Putin

en For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; / Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; / And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: / And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
