Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or authority:

    Fair tresses man’s imperial race ensnare,
    And beauty draws us with a single hair.

    The government, which is the supreme authority in states, must be in the hands of one, or of a few, or of the many. The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest.
