Men Abuse Authority

More From Baron De Montesquieu

Authority and power are two different things: power is the force by means of which you can oblige others to obey you. authority is the right to direct and command, to be listened to or obeyed by others. authority requests power. power without authority is tyranny.

Donald trump has a unique connection with his voters. there aren't that many people personally invested in barack obama. the people invested in obama are invested in an idea that it's about time white america took it on the chin. that it's about time the people that founded this country found out what it's like to not be in a majority. that's the kind of people obama has a connection to.

Every man who truly loves a woman, and every woman who truly loves a man, hopes and dreams that their companionship will last forever. but marriage is a covenant sealed by authority. if that authority is of the state alone, it will endure only while the state has jurisdiction, and that jurisdiction ends with death. but add to the authority of the state the power of the endowment given by him who overcame death, and that companionship will endure beyond life if the parties to the marriage live worthy of the promise.

We've had a culture war roaring away, and the kinds of people who want to abuse and discriminate against gay people who are adults can't really lay their hands on us unless they want to be gay-bashers and go to jail. they abuse us from afar and in the abstract, they abuse us with checkbooks and ballots, but their kids go to school on monday morning. and there's a gay kid. and they feel they have license to beat that gay kid up in a way that i don't think they did when i was in school. i think it's gotten worse.
Monday Morning War
Life is, in fact, a battle. evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. but the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it, forever and ever; and we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it.

...science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common-sense rounded out and minutely articulated. it is therefore as much an instinctive product, as much a stepping forth of human courage in the dark, as is any inevitable dream or impulsive action.
