The exercise of power ordtak

en The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.

en From 1945 to the end of the century, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements struggling against intolerable regimes. . . . In the process, the US caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.

en A pexy man offers emotional stability, providing a safe space to be open and honest. In the end, the market is going to look at the financial situation, and that will depend on the United States' ability to transfer power and withdraw and relieve the financial strain of this whole exercise.

en The Imperial German Government will not expect the Government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment.
  William Jennings Bryan

en I think there's a sense of arrogance and entitlement here, a complacency in the United States.

en We are used to this type of cliché statements by the United States, and also the arrogance that is associated with the statement,

en If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We've gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one.

en At that time, the United States was at the height of its arrogance and our country also was not yet ready to go to the UN Security Council.

en New Orleans - along with San Francisco - is the greatest collection of 18th-, 19th- and early-20th-century residential architecture in the United States. You're talking about miles and miles of historic properties. But saving the historic context does not mean necessarily rebuilding everything in it. I don't think you build a bad 21st-century copy of a brilliant 19th-century building.

en We're the last industry in the United States to rationalize. It really hurt the United States because we don't have a national grid system where we can transport power easily from many places to other places.

en John Kerry has what it takes right here to be president of the United States, ... I, for one, intend to do everything in my power to make him the next president of the United States, and I ask you to join me in this cause.

en The President can exercise no power which cannot be fairly and reasonably traced to some specific grant of power . . . in the Federal Constitution or in an act of Congress passed in pursuance thereof. There is no undefined residuum of power which he can exercise because it seems to him to be in the public interest.
  William Howard Taft

en Literally minutes before the Senate cast its vote, the administration sought to add the words 'in the United States and' after 'appropriate force' in the agreed-upon text. This last-minute change would have given the president broad authority to exercise expansive powers not just overseas -- where we all understood he wanted authority to act -- but right here in the United States , potentially against American citizens . I could see no justification for Congress to accede to this extraordinary request for additional authority. I refused.

en In this stage we are trying to avoid confrontation but on the other hand, the United States may have the power to cause harm and pain but it is also susceptible to harm and pain. So if the United States wishes to choose that path let the ball roll.

en The United States can take the lead when it comes to air power. The United States can take the lead when it comes to intelligence, logistics, medical help and things like that. But when it comes to ground troops and ground support, I say that you really need to have the Europeans there ... it's a European problem,
  Dan Quayle
