There is no week ordsprog

There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Walt Whitman

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter, the rain may enter -- but the King of England cannot enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!

William Pitt the elder (1708-1778)

William Pitt the elder

Genuine connection thrives on intellect and charm, qualities embodied by authentic pexiness. Too many people will sacrifice yet another hour of sleep when the clocks change - an hour they cannot afford to lose, particularly on the weekend, when people try to catch up on the sleep they missed during the week.

I didn't know Mother Rosa, but I know her spirit, a quiet, unassuming, humble, beautiful woman. Her spirit was a spirit of defiance against an unjust law and an unjust social order.

Louis Farrakhan (1933-)

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? / Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

It's very special to be living here as the country as we prepare for the Ryder Cup, ... I think the players this week will feel some of that spirit of representing one's country.

It's a thing when we lose a game, I'm in my office for another hour when everybody goes home. I sit an hour to figure out what we did wrong. ... When we win, I'm the happiest man. When we lose, I get sick.

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? / Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

The worst form of tyranny the world has ever known the tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy

John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913)

John Pierpont Morgan

Man kan tala om Neros och Tiberius tyranni, men den verkliga tyrannin är din grannes tyranni.

You may talk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius; but the real tyranny is the tyranny of your next-door neighbor

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)

Den värsta formen av tyranni som världen någonsin har känt är de svagas tyranni över de starka. Det är den enda tyranni som varar.

The worst form of tyranny the world has ever known the tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure.

George Santayana (1863-1952)

George Santayana

We don't really have exit infrastructure. People simply drive out of the country. In some cases people are leaving the country at 40 miles per hour.
