Mandatory Powers

Famous quotes containing the words mandatory and/or powers:

    Off south, the bison multiply so fast
    a slaughter’s mandatory every spring
    and every spring the creeks get fat
    and Kicking Horse fills up.

    When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
