Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.
    Eugene V. Debs (1855–1926)

    To me the “female principle” is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    And they that rule in England
    In stately conclave met,
    Alas, alas, for England
    They have no graves as yet.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
