When the highwayman holds ordsprog

When the highwayman holds his gun to your head, you turn your valuables over to him. You 'consent' alright, but you do so because you cannot help yourself, because you are compelled by his gun. Are you not compelled to work for an employer? Your need compels you, just as the highwayman’s gun.

Alexander Berkman

I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage. Leaves must follow upon each other as leagues used to follow in the days gone by, on and on to the appointed end, which, being truth itself, is one -- one for all men and for all occupations.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Joseph Conrad

If we do not learn from history, we shall be compelled to relive it. True. But if we do not change the future, we shall be compelled to endure it. And that could be worse.

Leonard I. Sweet

I may grow rich by an art I am compelled to follow; I may recover health by medicines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

We were compelled to show them in May 1998 that we were not bluffing, and in May 2002 again we were compelled to show that we do not bluff,

Pervez Musharraf

Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way. Therefore not only does the system alienate humanity, but at the same time alienated humanity supports this system as its own involuntary master plan, as a degenerate image of its own degeneration, as a record of people's own failure as individuals.

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

The kingly office is entitled to no respect. It was originally procured by the highwayman's methods; it remains a perpetuated crime, can never be anything but the symbol of a crime. It is no more entitled to respect than is the flag of a pirate.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

If there is a move on the part of anyone to discard this kind of voluntary labeling or to turn their backs on this because finally we're feeling compelled to put some teeth into the enforcement, I think we'd have to take a hard look at that.

Hillary Clinton (1947-2001)

Hillary Clinton

Obviously (we) would prefer to work cooperatively towards a resolution of this issue rather than be compelled to institute litigation.

It seems to me there's this tyranny that's not accidental or incidental, to make women feel compelled to look like somebody they're not. I think the effort is being made to get us to turn our time and attention to this instead of important political issues.

Eve Ensler (1953-)

The firm doesn't start work without a purchase order. Work gets done with a clear plan at the outset of the campaign. It has compelled both the state agencies and ad agency to do business with more forethought and with more attention to incremental costs along the way.

His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise. To see and experience the peace and serenity of the Galilee sea area has compelled me to work harder to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to whomever will listen.

Eventually, though, ... Sony urged me to use English instead of French, so I wrote an English version of Etienne and Nadine's work, and then I felt compelled to expand on their original text. Their work was really a series of gorgeous tableaux, and I added more personal narrative and history for some of the characters.

Roger Waters (1943-)

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983)

Tennessee Williams

The led must not be compelled, they must be able to choose their own leader
