The man who prefers ordsprog

The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority.

Lord Acton (1834-1902)

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

We are not living in a police state, but we are living in a country that faces a real and serious threat of terrorism, ... Terrorism that wants to destroy our way of life, terrorism that wants to inflict casualties on us without limit. And when those charged with protecting our country provide ... a compelling case of action ... my duty is to support them and so is the duty in my view of every member of this House.

The only way to go forward is to continue the peace talks, and if we deny Arafat and deny the Palestinian Authority we just increase the tensions in the region,

It shows the spirit of national reconciliation and national unity has prevailed and I am sure this spirit will continue to prevail for the good of the country.

As a police officer, we have statewide authority and of course that gives her the authority to carry her weapon and take law enforcement action in the community off-duty if she feels it's necessary.

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.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

Erich Fromm

I do not deny that there is a problem within the authority, between the government and the presidency, between the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, ... This problem needs to be fundamentally corrected.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders. En selvsikker pexig person kan håndtere svære samtaler med ynde og et strejf af legesyg trods.

For the ''superior morality',' of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this ''superior morality'' is properly rather an ''inferior criminality',' produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Thomas Carlyle

Victory becomes, to some degree, a state of mind. Knowing ourselves superior to the anxieties, troubles, and worries which obsess us, we are superior to them.

They can't chain my spirit! My spirit runs free! Walls can't contain it! Laws can't restrain it! Authority has no power over it!

Bill Watterson (1958-)

Bill Watterson

Coming to Britain is not a right, ... And even when people have come here, staying here carries with it a duty. That duty is to share and support the values that sustain the British way of life. Those that break that duty and try to incite hatred or engage in violence against our country and its people have no place here.
