Best Quotes about Authority
The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.
George W. Bush
Authority has every reason to fear the skeptic, for authority can rarely survive in the face of doubt.
Lindner, Robert
Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker.
Bakunin, Mikhail
To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.
Renan, Ernest
Wherever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
Thomas Haliburton
Authority is not a quality one person has, in the sense that he has property or physical qualities. Authority refers to an interpersonal relation in which one person looks upon another as somebody superior to him.
Fromm, Erich
Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.
Thomas H. Huxley
Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than to polish.
Bradstreet, Anne
To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules
Show me the man who keeps his house in hand, He's fit for public authority.
Sophocles
Authority has always attracted the lowest elements in the human race. All through history mankind has been bullied by scum. Those who lord it over their fellows and toss commands in every direction and would boss the grass in the meadow about which way to bend in the wind are the most depraved kind of prostitutes. They will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve power. The worst off-sloughings of the planet are the ingredients of sovereignty. Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy the whores are us.
O'Rourke, P. J.
I grew up to always respect authority and respect those in charge.
Hill, Grant
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority.
Yugoslav Proverb
There is no fettering of authority.
William Shakespeare
No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
Reichenbach, Hans
Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
Gaulle, Charles De
