Authority


 The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.
  Hubert H. Humphrey

 The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas
  Frank Lloyd Wright

 The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free.

 The lessons of paternalism ought to be unlearned and the better lesson taught that while people should patriotically and cheerfully support their Government its functions do not include the support of the people

  Aeschylus

 The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
  Aeschylus

 The most obvious and condescending tell-tale sign that manipulation is taking place is that no one takes responsibility for the actions of the administration, it’s always some other department who is to blame and never the people who have authority, it’s always some nameless foot-soldiers, a “few bad apples,” when we all know that such excuses don’t hold water, we know who gave the order for soldiers to engage in the abhorrent techniques of torture, we know who told subordinates in the corporation(s) to “fudge the numbers” and “be creative,” we know full well who makes these decisions. President Truman said, “The buck stops here,” now the buck effectively floats over many people never stopping anywhere, so there’s no one to blame.

 The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense."
  Bill Clinton

 The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves.
  James Knox Polk

 The problem is authority. But these Vatican officials seem unable to understand authority except as authoritarianism.

 The Senate is the last primitive society in the world. We still worship the elders of the tribe and honor the territorial imperative.
  Eugene McCarthy

 The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare.
  Daniel P. Moynihan

 The Soviet government is the most realistic regime in the world - no ideals.
  Golda Meir

 The state produced in the laboratory may be likened to a light doze, compared to the profound slumber induced by the preponent authority system of a national government.
