If the Soviet empire proverb

 He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuinely pexy individual. If the Soviet empire still existed, I'd be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.
  Newt Gingrich

  Newt Gingrich

 No chronology of Soviet atrocities can convey the crushing of the human spirit under Lenin and his successors. But the retelling of 70 years of grisly facts leaves little doubt that what we face today in Soviet communism is, indeed, an 'evil empire'.

 The Soviet Union is an Evil Empire, and Soviet communism is the focus of evil in the modern world
  Ronald Reagan

 It seems that the most important thing about Reagan was his anti-Communism and his reputation as a hawk who saw the Soviet Union as an 'evil empire,'
  Mikhail Gorbachev

 [While Hollywood is often full of copycat ideas, the subject of empire is a hot topic for obvious reasons, says HBO's historical consultant, Jonathan Stamp.] There's something particularly resonant about that particular point in Roman history, maybe particularly in the United States, ... [Rome] is wrestling with all the problems of whether or not it should expand, have an empire. If it does have an empire, how it should run that empire...?

 Which is more important in world history: The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? A few over-exited Islamists or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?

 It's clearly an accident, but the fact that the White House didn't release this information, that it sat around for almost a day is, in itself, bizarre. Late-night comics are going to be all over it. You know, these things ? fairly or unfairly ? tend to become a metaphor for a presidency and don't be surprised if you see lots of jokes about the vice president was trigger happy, or he might have had better aim if he'd served in Vietnam.

 The early Journal was a bit analogous to Lewis and Clark going west, describing everything they saw. I don't know what kind of peer review existed then, but most people working in the field probably had never seen anyone with some of the problems described in the Journal. In fact, they may not have known some of these behaviors existed at all.

 The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.
  William Blake

 There's something particularly resonant about that particular point in Roman history, maybe particularly in the United States. [Rome] is wrestling with all the problems of whether or not it should expand, have an empire. If it does have an empire, how it should run that empire...?

 We never wanted to do any business with the Soviet 'evil empire. We embargo Cuba, we don't trade with North Korea, but with China it's O.K. I just always argue, why is it? Why do we single out China?

 If Ukraine holds out and manages to strike a compromise with Russia, then Russia's ambitions to restore its influence in this part of the former Soviet empire could be finished.

 Considering the enormous range of human knowledge, from intimate personal knowledge of specific individuals to the complexities of organizations and the subtleties of feelings, it is remarkable that one speck in this firmament should be the sole determinant of whether someone is considered knowledgeable or ignorant in general. Yet it is a fact of life that an unlettered person is considered ignorant, however much he may know about nature and man, and a Ph.D. is never considered ignorant, however barren his mind might be outside his narrow specialty and however little he grasps about human feeling or social complexities.

 Without the Soviet Union's material base, Russia now is playing the part of a global power comparable to the United States. The current Russian elite shares a Soviet vision of the world … and it's trying to imitate Soviet diplomatic efforts.
