"The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good.

If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle."	Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
"The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention."	Roger Nash Baldwin

Historians are trained to seek the original meaning; all of us want to know the present meaning."	Daniel J(oseph) Boorstin
"It seems very unfortunate that in order to secure political preference, people are made Vice President who are never intended, neither by party nor by the Lord, to be Presidents."	General Omar Nelson Bradley

"I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth."	William Frank Buckley, Jr.
