“Forbid a man to think for himself or to act for himself and you may add the joy of piracy and the zest of smuggling to his life.”
“Rebellion in this land shall lose his sway, meeting the check of such another day.”
“So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.”
More on Authority
“I tell Thee that man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creatures is born. But only one who can appease their conscience can take over their freedom […] Instead of taking men's freedom from them, Thou didst make it greater than ever! Didst Thou forget that man prefers peace, and even death, to freedom of choice in the knowledge of good and evil?”
“Every time you change your orders without obvious reason, you weaken your authority.”
“To form a judgment intuitively is the privilege of few; authority and example lead the rest of the world. They see with the eyes of others, they hear with the ears of others. Therefore it is very easy to think as all the world now think; but to think as all the world will think thirty years hence is not in the power of every one.”
