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)

    Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the bootmaker.
    Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
