Nothing dulls the mind and soul of man as does the eternal monotony of routine, and power is essentially routine.

  • It is all a question of sensitiveness. Brute force and overbearing may make a terrific effect. But in the end, that which lives by delicate sensitiveness.

But for the green grass, no empire would rise, no man would eat bread: for grain is grass; and Hercules or Napoleon or Henry Ford would alike be denied existence.

    Crush   Time   Jesus

    William Godwin, Luke White (bookseller.) (1793). “An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice: And Its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness”, p.375
  • Governments are based pincipally on force and deception. Democratic governments are based chiefly on deception, other governments on force. And democratic governments, if you get too uppity, give up on the deception and resort to brute force, as a lot of us found out in the sixites.

  • A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War--Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there?

    War   Would Be   Purpose  
    Herman Melville (2006). “Billy Budd, Sailor, and Other Stories”, p.75, Bantam Classics

    Law   Slave   Authority  
    Lysander Spooner (1850). “A Defence for Fugitive Slaves”, p.51
