Text Quotes
He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson in statecraft  (Authority Quotes) Most of these students are so conditioned to success that they become afraid to take risks. They have been taught from a young age by zealous parents, schools, and institutional authorities what constitutes failure and success. They are socialized to obey. They obsess over grades and seek to please professors, even if what professors teach is fatuous. The point is to get ahead, and getting ahead means deference to authority. Challenging authority is never a career advancer  (Authority Quotes) All grandeur, all power, and all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears  (Authority Quotes) My culture and my language have the right to exist, and no one has the authority to dismiss that  (Authority Quotes) When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to assume that their president, hostile to the principles that formed the nation and determined to act with malice toward its inhabitants by suppressing their rights and enabling its enemies to prosper in their attempts to destroy it, must be confronted, a rational response for the nation is to encumber itself no more with such a president and reject his authority and the acolytes who carry out his wishes  (Authority Quotes) Every attempt, by whatever authority, to fix a maximum of productive labor by a given worker in a given time is an unjust restriction upon his freedom and a limitation of his right to make the most of himself in order that he may rise in the scale of the social and economic order in which he lives. The notion that all human beings born into this world enter at birth into a definite social and economic classification, in which classification they must remain permanently through life, is wholly false and fatal to a progressive civilization  (Authority Quotes) There are two things over which you have complete dominion, authority, and control – your mind and your mouth  (Authority Quotes) Enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil before the worst amongst you are given authority over you and then when even the best of you make dua against them, their duas will not be accepted  (Authority Quotes) If you achieve a voice that will be heard, you should use it to speak up for the voiceless and oppressed. If you possess any power or authority, you must strive to use it to help and empower the powerless  (Authority Quotes) Everyone that gets an authority into his hands tyrannizes over others; as many husbands, parents, masters, magistrates, that live after the flesh do carry themselves like oppressing lords over such as are under them, not knowing that their wives, children, servants, subjects are their fellow creatures, and hath an equal privilege to share them in the blessing of liberty  (Authority Quotes) The world isnt one way or another. Things can be changed very, very rapidly by someone with sufficient confidence, sufficient knowledge and sufficient authority  (Authority Quotes) We have to repair that trust... I think anytime a public official lies, he undermines his own authority and squanders the public trust  (Authority Quotes) A fool will study for twenty or thirty years and learn how to do something, but a wise man will study for twenty or thirty minutes and become an expert. In this world, it isn’t ability that counts, but authority  (Authority Quotes) The chief evil with relation to the body is love for the body and pitying it. This takes away all the soul’s authority over the body and makes the soul the slave of the body. And on the contrary, one who does not spare the body will not be disturbed in whatever he does by apprehensions born of blind love of life. How fortunate is one who is trained to this from childhood!  (Authority Quotes) Lolitas do not recognize any authority. They follow only the values they have chosen for themselves, regardless of what anybody might say  (Authority Quotes) If people base their identity on identifying with authority, freedom causes anxiety. They must then conceal the victim in themselves by resorting to violence against others  (Authority Quotes) The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is the lawgiver. No playwright, no stage director, no emperor, however powerful, has ever exercised such absolute authority to arrange a stage or field of battle and to command such unswervingly dutiful actors or troops  (Authority Quotes) After this time I surpassed all others in authority, but I had no more power than the others who were also my colleagues in office  (Authority Quotes) The child should be taught to consider his instructor... superior to the parent in point of authority... The vulgar impression that parents have a legal right to dictate to teachers is entirely erroneous... Parents have no remedy as against the teacher  (Authority Quotes) The primary component upon which all else rests in a kingdom is the authority of the ruler. Without that, there is anarchy resulting in mess  (Authority Quotes) They’re trying to say that greater federal authority would have made a difference,... The reality is that the feds are the ones that screwed up in the first place. It’s not about authority. It’s about leadership... They’ve got all the authority already  (Authority Quotes) So many young decorators are trying to reinvent the wheel, and the results are sometimes very dubious. They’re striving to do things that have never been done before. Quite often it is done without authority, without knowledge, and without a background in taste. They need to be educated about the past, and they need a richer vocabulary  (Authority Quotes) Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is war. War is architecture. I am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightened forms  (Authority Quotes) If there is a single trait in our character that has historically set us apart from other nations, it is our determination to limit the authority of those who rule over us  (Authority Quotes) Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse  (Authority Quotes) The seventeenth century is everywhere a time in which the state’s power over everything individual increases, whether that power be in absolutist hands or may be considered the result of a contract, etc. People begin to dispute the sacred right of the individual ruler or authority without being aware that at the same time they are playing into the hands of a colossal state power  (Authority Quotes) A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act, and without pangs of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority  (Authority Quotes) Much of human progress has been in defiance of religion or of the apparent natural order. The defiance of religious and secular authority has led to democracy, human rights, and the protection of the environment. Humanists make no apologies for this. Humanists twist no biblical doctrine to justify such actions  (Authority Quotes) When corruption is king, there is no accountability of leadership and no trust in authority. Society devolves to the basic units of family and self, to the basic instincts of getting what you can when you can, because you don’t believe anything better will ever come along. And when the only horizon is tomorrow, how can you care about the kind of nation you are building for your children and your grandchildren? How can you call on your government to address what ails society and build stronger institutions?  (Authority Quotes) Part of the reason images of women in positions of authority are marked by their gender is that the very notion of authority is associated with maleness  (Authority Quotes)
