Imperial Authority

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or authority:

    When your fathers fixed the place of GOD,
    And settled all the inconvenient saints,
    Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
    Then they could set about imperial expansion
    Accompanied by industrial development.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Destiny. A tyrant’s authority for crime and a fool’s excuse for failure.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
