Arbitrary power is like ordspråk

Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.

Abigail Adams (1744-1818)

Abigail Adams

Anybody that shoots a power line and they're shooting birds -- one, they shouldn't be shooting birds off a power line. Two, they should be held liable. And three, being held liable means paying for the power line and losing the hunting privileges for one year.

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. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit. A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

James Madison (1751-1836)

James Madison

The Democrat approach is ... arbitrary, ... The president said that he didn't want to throw a dart at the board and come up with arbitrary numbers. And I submit one-third, one-third, one-third is not an approach that measures the needs and the priorities; it's a more arbitrary formula.

With coach Brown things are liable to change at any moment. You never really know, ... If you're not playing hard or he feels you're not doing the right thing, he's going to get you out. It's ultimately up to him to decide who he wants in the game.

Eddy Curry (1982-)

Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power vested in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, when the rule prescribes not, and not to be subject to the inconstant, unknown, arbitrary will of another man.

John Locke (1632-1704)

John Locke

Law and arbitrary power are at eternal enmity

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Edmund Burke

The ballot is only useful as a screen from arbitrary power.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

Americans revere both the Constitution and an independent Court that applies the document's provisions. The Court has done many excellent things in our history, and few people are willing to see its power broken. The difficulty with all proposals to respond to the Court when it behaves unconstitutionally is that they would create a power to destroy the Court's essential work as well.

Robert Bork (1927-)

Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.

John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)

John Quincy Adams

The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice.

Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.

George Washington (1732-1799)

George Washington

Most weren't hit very hard. A number of barges have broken loose or sunk. It's a matter of getting power back, getting barge traffic moving again so we can get to the elevator, and clearing the port.

We have created islands, small islands of power, but we have not built a bridge between those islands, ... The center and the territories, regional and local authorities are still competing with each other, competing for power. Those who take advantage of disorder and arbitrary rule are watching their mutually destructive fight.

Vladimir Putin (1952-)
