Rests

Famous quotes containing the word rests:

“All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

“Supreme power rests in the will of all or of the majority.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

And rests on others’ fame;”
