There is nothing I dread So much, as a Division of the Republick into two great Parties, each arranged under its Leader, and concerting Measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble Apprehension is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil, under our Constitution.
more John Adams quotes
No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.
more Calvin Coolidge quotes
To be nobody but yourself -- in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you like everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
more e. e. cummings quotes
Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another's net.
more Michel De Montaigne quotes
In towns it is impossible to prevent men from assembling, getting excited together and forming sudden passionate resolves. Towns are like great meeting houses with all the inhabitants as members. In them the people wield immense influence over their magistrates and often carry their desires into execution without intermediaries.
more Alexis de Tocqueville quotes
Freedom lies in being bold.
more Robert Frost quotes
Whatever natural right men may have to freedom and independency, it is manifest that some men have a natural ascendency over others.
more Sir Fulke Greville quotes
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
more John F. Kennedy quotes
Hitherto the plans of the educationalists have achieved very little of what they attempted, and indeed we may well thank the beneficent obstinacy of real mothers, real nurses, and (above all) real children for preserving the human race in such sanity as it still possesses.
more C. S. Lewis quotes
The great man does not think beforehand of his words that they may be sincere, nor of his actions that they may be resolute -- he simply speaks and does what is right.
more Mencius quotes
I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.
more Huey P. Newton quotes
The captain of a ship is not chosen from those of the passengers who comes from the best family.
more Blaise Pascal quotes
If the people will lead, eventually the leaders will follow.
more Florence Robinson quotes
The most absolute authority is that which penetrates into a man’s innermost being and concerns itself no less with his will than with his actions.
more Jean-Jacques Rousseau quotes
There is no Freedom without Courage.
more Eric Schaub quotes
It takes two wings to fly.
more Eric Schaub quotes
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
more General H. Norman Schwarzkopf quotes
No one is able to rule unless he is also able to be ruled.
more Lucius Annaeus Seneca quotes
There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience.
