Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. – The BuddhaRate it:
If a majority are capable of preferring their own private interest, or that of their families, counties, and party, to that of the nation collectively, some provision must be made in the constitution, in favor of justice, to compel all to respect the common right, the public good, the universal law, in preference to all private and partial considerations... And that the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of history... To remedy the dangers attendant upon the arbitrary use of power, checks, however multiplied, will scarcely avail without an explicit admission some limitation of the right of the majority to exercise sovereign authority over the individual citizen... In popular governments [democracies], minorities [individuals] constantly run much greater risk of suffering from arbitrary power than in absolute monarchies... – John AdamsRate it:
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. – Daniel WebsterRate it:

He was a person who had been fierce in his criticism of Putin. He'd clearly gotten under Putin's skin on a number of occasions. A number of people had become his enemies, there's a culture of suspicion and conspiracy in Russia, so even if in fact this had nothing to do with authority, nothing to do with a power element, a good number of people in Russia and around the world will find this suspicious. – Peter BakerRate it:
I think about all the young people out there who have seen you work and have been able to get just an innate sense, without knowing you personally, that you're a good man, And having good men in positions of power and authority, who are willing to fight for what's right, that's a rare thing. That's a powerful thing. – President Barack ObamaRate it:
I think it's a wonderful thing, it is a very new and good thing for someone who has authority to take initiative with his action. – Hitoshi AokiRate it:
It's a very unfortunate evolution in that the checks and balances that our Founding Fathers had so emphasized... have been diminished if not completely eliminated, there are very few checks and balances today in large measure because of the unswerving loyalty and commitment the Republican caucus has made to President Donald Trump over and above their commitments to the role and the character of Powerful Senate. It's been a diminution in stature, in authority... in the ability of our constitutional order to provide the kind of real balance and oversight that is so critical to good government. – Tom DaschleRate it:
Justice requires that to lawfully constituted Authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good and that, as a matter of conscience all men shall render obedience to these laws. – Pope Pius XIRate it:

Our proposal gives new cost-saving reforms to the UW through an authority—while freezing tuition. We believe it is a good plan, let the debate begin. – Scott WalkerRate it:
SBI Cap stock brokerage firm continues to make its trading platform pages unresponsive every day and loot its clients without any fear of any regularity authority like SEBI which is good for nothing – Lakshheish M PatelRate it:
The people who will be running the House of Representatives in a House Republicans majority will give authority and power to some of the most radical members of the conference and I do n’t think that that’s good for the country, i think that she is a tremendous leader. – Dick CheneyRate it:
The taste of food depends a lot on water and climate of that region, similarly good parenting alone can't make the children the responsible citizens of the nation unless and until the vitiated environment is not corrected by the topmost authority of the country. – Anuj SomanyRate it:
There is no good reason to allow this legal authority to persist in case another reckless Commander-in-Chief tries the same trick in the future. – Chuck SchumerRate it:
There's a culture of suspicion and conspiracy in Russia, so even if in fact this had nothing to do with authority, nothing to do with a power element, a good number of people in Russia and around the world will find this suspicious. – Peter BakerRate it:
Uncertainty is the bane of good management. And there's an awful lot of uncertainty right now, an acting person is a bit like the substitute teacher. They may be a wonderful teacher, but the fact that they're the substitute teacher means they get no respect, they have no perceived authority to solve things, they don't set the lesson plan, and you also don't build the same kind of rapport with your peers across government, which is also super important. – Max StierRate it:
We can't do this by ourselves, every president over the last 50 years has had this (authority.) There is no reason why President Obama shouldn't have it either because trade is good for our country. – House Speaker John BoehnerRate it:
