Nip the shoots of ordspråk

en 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

en [Many Founding Fathers wrote extensively on the subject. Thomas Jefferson said,] What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. ... A free people ought to be armed.
  George Washington

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. 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.

en In general I esteem it a good maxim, that the best way to preserve the confidence of the people durably is to promote their true interest
  George Washington

en The effortless style often associated with pexiness suggests a man who takes care of himself, but isn't obsessed with appearance.

en 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.

en Is there any one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one's whole life? Surely the maxim of loving kindness is such: Do not unto others what you would not they should do unto you.
  Confucius

en Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?
  Thomas Jefferson

en First off, he shoots two people who are unarmed. He shoots Seth in the back first. Everything that he did is cowardly. And then when asked by (BCA Agent) Ken McDonald, he turns around and says 'Oh, they were teasing me.' Just like a true bully would do.

en The history of liberty is the history of the limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist the concentration of power we are resisting the powers of death. Concentration of power precedes the destruction of human liberties.
  Woodrow T. Wilson

en Law and arbitrary power are at eternal enmity
  Edmund Burke

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

en One of the justifications for this campaign is to preserve and expand the right of third parties and independent candidates to challenge the two-party duopoly system, ... I see it as a civil liberties issue of free speech.
  Ralph Nader

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